Dell XPS R400

Verdict

It might not have the speed of 450MHz rivals, but the sheer quality of the components on offer makes this a great mid-range solution for mainstream users.

Review Date: 1 Nov 1998

Price when reviewed: (£1,703 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

The XPS-R400 comes with Office 97 SBE pre-installed and a copy of McAfee VirusScan. Performance isn't anything to write home about, but there's still enough power on offer to push 2D applications, while the STB graphics card should keep this season's hit games running smoothly. For nearly £1,500 there will be some for whom nothing less than Intel's latest and greatest will do but, as far as I'm concerned, the overall high quality of the components that come supplied with this system more than makes up for the slightly slower processor.
