Dell Inspiron 27 7000 Review - First Ryzen All-in-One PC

Dell Inspiron 27 7000

The Dell Inspiron 27 7000 offers an ultra-sharp display, virtual reality gaming, and a microphone array to better interact with Microsoft’s Cortana personal assistant. In fact, it’s one of the most future-proof Windows 10 all-in-ones that shoppers can buy this summer.

The company revealed the Inspiron 27 7000 at the Computex 2017. It replaces all the things you might have in your desktop today as an all-in-one PC. Matte black plastic and aluminum cover most of the machine. It consists of two inches thick body. Though mouse and keyboard are included there’s no tower.

The 27-inch InfinityEdge display and the aluminum speaker grille dominate the front. To achieve the thin screen bezels on the XPS 13 and XPS 15, the company uses InfinityEdge. Dell plans to offer a 4K display with HDR 10 support in the near future.

The 4K display offers a higher resolution display on par with most TVs. HDR 10 screens show more color contrast than the average display as HDR is short for the high-dynamic range. A feature called Display Sharing lets buyers use the Inspiron 27 7000 as a 4K HDR 10 display for video game consoles and set-top boxes.

There aren’t many all-in-ones that boast a premium gaming experience like this one does. The AMD Radeon RX 500 graphics card, Ryzen 8 Core processors and optional 16 GB of DDR4 options are listed on Dell.com. The Inspiron 27 7000 can handle virtual reality gaming headsets from Oculus and HTC with the right options said by Dell. Gamers don’t need headsets with this PC. This has two speakers and a subwoofer that are all tuned for MaxxAudio Pro quality sound.

Dell’s engineers planned for expansion. There are two drive slots, buyers can add a 1 TB hard drive and 256 GB solid state drive to the PC when customizing. The removable rear panel lets users replace these drives in the future. A USB Type-C port connects the PC to phones and docking accessories without much effort. Many built-in features are there just like 3 USB 3.1 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, audio out, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI out, an SD card reader and headset jack.

On this machine, itself two hardware features enhance Windows 10. The PC’s microphone array can hear commands for the Cortana personal assistant from across a room. Microsoft plans to enhance Cortana for these microphones with the next major update to Windows. There aren’t many PCs that offer this today. A front-facing Windows Hello camera lets users sign in by making eye contact with the machine.

According to Dell, the Dell Inspiron 27 7000 begins shipping in the next few weeks worldwide expect it to cost as little as $999 in the United States. This is available to order in China today from Dell.com
