One always seems to be undecided on the options to consider before setting out to buy a PC. While assembling your own PC may have its own merits, one would have to do a bit of searching to configure their own rig. Manufacturers such as Lenovo, Acer, HCL, Dell, among others have all successfully launched their desktop PCs in the market. One of the world’s most well known PC manufacturers, Dell launched the Dell Inspiron 620s desktop PC, which features Intel’s 2nd Generation Core processors, HD multimedia capabilities, and dressed in a range of colours.

Design and Build Quality
The Dell Inspiron 620s follows up from a previous release from Dell, which had the same name - 620s. The rehashed version of the 620s desktop comes with a slimmer form factor. That being said, only the tower is slimmer, as compared to its predecessor. The new version comes bundled up with a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.

The front panel of the cabinet of the 620s is finished in glossy black with silver border. Style and class is what Dell have gone with while manufacturing this OEM PC. Quick access connectors like USB ports, audio and mic jacks along with a memory card reader are all located in a bay on the front right of the cabinet. To left of it lies an optical drive. Unlike the previous model of the 620s, Dell has positioned the optical drive vertically to maintain the slim design. The connectors are located in the bay to the right of the optical drive and the bay can be opened by pushing a button located on top of it. With the review piece that we received, we noticed that the USB ports were a bit narrow and trying to insert a drive in them became quite a task. The cabinet can be placed sideways, so it can rest on four rubberized legs located along the four corners. This makes a lot of sense as it helps in further reducing the amount of space taken. Other connections are located at the back. These include an HDMI port, six USB 2.0 ports, an ethernet port, VGA port and audio connectors.

The bundled up monitor that comes along with this OEM PC is a Dell In1920 HD monitor. The monitor on a whole, seemed quite sturdy, but we had a problem with the stand. The stand was a bit wobbly and this was a bit annoying, even though the display was attached well. The keyboard and mouse that came with this review unit were well-built and we faced no issues with it, whatsoever.

The Dell 620s is stylish, yet simple in design. This PC will definitely not win any beauty contests, but it is not the ugliest looking desktop in the market. Apart from the monitor wobbling and the issue we faced with the USB ports in the front, the overall build quality of this PC was good.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category. 

There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.

What do the ratings mean?

Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
