Specs:
Intel Core Duo E2160 (1.8 GHz), 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 320 GB Standard, Vista Home Premium, Tower, 667 MHz, Core Duo, 1 year warranty, Personal computer, 256 MB
The Good:
Discrete graphics card has its own memory, so it won't steal from the system RAM; built-in Bluetooth.
The Bad:
The Inspiron 530 was outperformed on a few tests by a system that costs $100 less.
The Bottom Line:
PC vendors have very few tricks remaining to differentiate their systems from the competition, which makes the built-in Bluetooth in the Dell Inspiron 530 unique. There's little else that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your budget desktop, we can recommend no other.
