via Amazon

Dell Inspiron i3647-1233BLK is a popular 3000 series Windows 7 computer with a space saving design, an entry level yet high performance (for daily tasks) 4th generation Intel Celeron G1840 processor, 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, a DVD drive, USB 3.0 ports and anything you may need for regular computing- it does perform surprisingly well at simple tasks for a budget desktop PC.

Dell Inspiron has the 2.8GHz base speed dual core Haswell Intel Celeron G1840 processor (2M Cache), 4GB Single Channel DDR3 RAM at 1600MHz (1x4GB) for adequate multitasking, 500GB SATA 6Gb/s hard drive at 7200rpm rotating speed- spacious and faster than usual + PocketCloud 2.0 for access to your important files on different devices wherever there is internet and 64-bit English Home Premium version of Windows 7 operating system.

Mid-May 2014 release Celeron G1840 stands out with its performance for its price, quiet operation and power efficiency with Thermal Design Power of 53W at the lowest end of Haswell processors. You’re getting decent amounts of memory and hard drive and what’s nice about the HDD is the speed- 7200rpm (most budget computers have the 5400rpm). And Windows 7 would be one of its selling points for many computer customers. Modern and black Dell Inspiron i3647-1233BLK is slim and fairly lightweight so it won’t be a problem carrying it around the house and will give you more space on your desk. It weighs 15.9 pounds with measurements of 19.88 x 15.39 x 10.32 inches.

Connectivity options include a Tray load DVD Drive that writes and reads to CD/DVD, an 8-in-1 Media Card Reader, an HDMI port, Dell Wireless-N 1705 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 tied to wireless card, Gigabit Ethernet with RJ-45 port, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x USB 3.0 ports. No monitor is included and no speakers but you have the integrated Intel HD (Haswell) Graphics and the 5.1 Audio support and the sound and picture performance will depend on the monitor and/or speakers you choose. English Dell USB Entry Keyboard and a wired Dell USB Optical Mouse are included in the package. Auto Dell Back-up and Recovery function is available for automated and flexible security of your documents and multimedia- accessible through the simple to use MyDell support interface which also informs you and enables you to fix issues before they come up.

Conclusion: Dell Inspiron i3647-1233BLK is low cost and fast for daily tasks with smooth graphics performance but just don’t expect it to handle the very high powered and demanding applications and games. Celeron G1840 is reported to be the least expensive Haswell processor after all and will be fine if you’ll use your PC for internet browsing, Word and Excel, homework, photos, music, videos and light games- it is cheap, fast and reliable with plenty of multitasking power. Please note that the Celeron CPU and the Intel HD- Haswell Graphics card will let you play only a few of the latest games and at low settings, being the equivalent of AMD Radeon HD 8250 and Intel HD 3000. It comes with 1 year In-Home Warranty and the best customer service by Dell 24/7 in North America. Decent value for money!
