Product Review: Dell OptiPlex SX270

I really like Dell's desktop computers. It's not so much that the computers are nice, which they are, but I like the ability to manage the computers, warranties and other things from Dell.com. I also find that overall they are easy to open and have access to the insides.

Although all of Dell's computer designs are not great, like how one of their PC's has a USB port in the front of the computer, but pointed DOWN so you have to get on your knees (if your PC is on the floor) to use it, or pull your head down to your desk (if the PC is on a desk) to get a USB cable in the port properly.

HOWEVER, the next version of the computer (a particular Dimension model) Dell got it right and made the USB port so you can plug straight into it.

The core components, particularly the processor Latest News about Processors, are strong. However, as is typical of such machines, many of the other components are low-end in the base configuration.
