Dell's squarish Inspiron Zino HD 410 compact desktop PC is back, with a few impressive tweaks to make it even stronger than it was before. But the internals of this tiny, black PC aren't the only things that Dell amped up: The price of our configured system jumped to $825 (up from $557 for its predecessor). We love the upgrades Dell that explain the higher price, but the Inspiron Zino HD 410 is approaching budget desktop PC territory, where $825 buys a lot of power and versatility.

The Zino HD 410 incorporates a 1.7GHz AMD Phenom II X4 processor--a step up from its predecessor's 1.5GHz AMD Athlon 3250e CPU--and it doubles the memory of its older companion to reach 6GB of DDR3-1333 RAM. Similarly, the system's storage jumps from 320GB to 750GB.
