Dell Inspiron is already a well-entrenched sub-brand in itself and it got further boosted as the company used the Comptutex 2017 platform to announce three more machines in the series. These include two all-in-ones (AIOs) Desktops and one Dell Inspiron Gaming Desktop. All these devices have been made available to customers in China but the other markets will get them quite soon, it is learnt.
Several new features have been incorporated in these new computers and there is a significant push towards making them all “VR Ready” as the company would like to call them.
The Dell Inspiron 27 7000 AIO is a typical high-end home computer built around offering virtual reality and home entertainment to the users with its 27inch display which is being termed the “Infinity Edge” due to the display stretching till the edges of the screen all around. The resolution offered is 4K UHD and the audio delivery has also been considerably enhanced.
Dell has opted for the latest processors from AMD, multi-core Ryzen and the graphics support is also through AMD’s Polaris RX500 series.
A 720p webcam enables one-look login through the help of Windows Hello and the Cortana assistant is also quite sensitive with far-field speech recognition capability.

For this, the company has developed an exclusive technology called “SmartByte”, which can identify streaming video through a data stream and send the signals faster, thus eliminating buffering while watching videos. The other specs and features like the provision of Cortana and Windows Hello along with SSD storage and port options are more or less similar to the 27 7000 described above.
