On the other hand, the New Dell Inspiron 24 7000 Series All-in-One (not the Dell Inspiron 15 7000) certainly amazes alot of people.

With all the latest technology (Ultrathin 24-inch all-in-one desktop offers dynamic performance designed to impress. Featuring Intel® RealSense™ Camera and Windows Hello.) thrown in who could withstand not having one immediately ?
A few things needs to highlight though.
1. Price
- Really requires justification because of below.
2. CPU.
- The default CPU at Nvidia 940M is alittle shabby for intensive gaming.
3. 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive + 32GB mSATA Solid State Drive
- this is not allowed in today's context! A pure SSD/7200RPM please!
4. 802.11bgn + Bluetooth 4.0, 2.4 GHz, 1x1
- what kind of wireless card is this? stone age ?
5. Rear IO Ports: (2) USB 2.0, RJ-45 Ethernet Port, Audio Line Out, HDMI in (1),HDMI out (1)
- no display port for bigger monitor / daisy?
6. 2 DIMM Slot
- was hoping for 4. Probably notebook configuration
7. FHD Camera: 9.46kg / 20.86lb with Articulating Stand, 3D Camera: 9.48kg / 20.90lb with Articulating Stand
- this is interesting. Intel's RealSense 3D camera!
8. Stand
- Lack of height adjustment.
9. Last but not least, customization.
- Lack of choices to upgrade making it extremely disappointing.
At the price tag of SGD$2049, i am expecting it to be nothing short of amazing expectations.
That's not to say the 2015 version is a lousy system. Quite the contrary, it still looks amazingly beautiful, offers a gorgeous 10-finger touch IPS display, and performs reasonably well for an all-in-one at this price point. Futhermore the RealSense camera, though it's waiting for more apps, is an intriguing extra that you won't find in most rival systems. But given the choice, we'd rather have seen a few more significant updates to the Inspiron 23's main components.
