Instead , Dell has turn to AMD chip starting with a base Athlon mainframe ( which can be bumped to an AMD Athlon ™ X2 , and AMD Athlon ™ Neo X2 ) . A single hard driveway squeezes inside ( up to 1 TB ) along with as many as 8 GB of RAM . And you may choose between integrated graphics and an ATI Radeon HD 4330 512 MB wag .
That should be enough superpower to drive 1080P out of the HDMI interface ( using an optional Blu - ray driveway now and TV Tuner choice sometime in the future ) . You also make 4 USB ports ( 2 front , 2 back ) along with 2 eSATA ports for gentle drive enlargement .
The Zino HD goes on sale today . But I have n’t spot it on Dell ’s site just yet . I ’m interested to see what you really get in that base $ 250ish rig , and how much a few of these key upgrades will cost . If Dell keeps the price down , the Zino HD could be a no - brainer when compare to the Atom and Ion - based system floating around . [ Dell ]
UPDATE : Dell ’s crush materials they send out said the Zino HD would start at $ 250 . As of right now , the cheapest configurationonlineis $ 360 . We ’ve contacted Dell for clearing .
UPDATE 2 : This is fun , is n’t it ? Swap out Windows 7 Professional with Home and the price drops to $ 260 . I have no clue why a sub-$300 computer defaults with a $ 100 OS upgrade .
UPDATE 3 : OK , it reckon like the website pricing updates are done . My alkali configuration is down to $ 230 with a 1.6GHz Athlon , 2 GB RAM , videodisc drive , and 250 GB ( 7200RPM ) backbreaking drive . Bumping the specs up to a dual essence Athlon place the price to $ 289 .
