Dell's little all-in-one is a decent contender for budget users and looks great, too

Specifications

3GHz AMD Athlon II X2 250e, 4GB RAM, 21.5in 1,920×1,080 display, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

The touchscreen display itself looks rather good, with even backlighting and vivid natural colours as well as decent contrast in dark areas. It looks a little gritty on light windows, but we were pleased to find that the glossy finish isn’t too reflective. Dell’s touch-friendly toolbar also feels friendlier and more natural to use than the standard Microsoft Touch Pack interface supplied with most touchscreen systems, although a keyboard and mouse are still a better choice.

Dell Inspiron One 2205 back

Dell has put together a functional range of features in an attractive PC. The Acer Aspire Z3731 is cheaper, but doesn’t have the build quality to match Dell’s PC.
