I have chosen this set-up as a security system for a home use. I plan to use this security system in my home. This security system is a kit which was convenient and it was cheaper when buying this system. Also, the computer I found and plan to use is the most up-dated system that Dell has; also this computer is the state of technology features:
The Dell Inspiron 23 is sleek, fast, and flexible. It's sleek because the all-in-one desktop's display features edge-to-edge glass and measures only a half an inch thick. Dell calls it the thinnest 23-inch all-in-one (AIO) on the market. It's fast because of this unit is the high-end $1,399 model that features a powerful fourth-generation ( "Haswell") Intel Core i7 processor, an ample 12GB of memory, and AMD Radeon graphics. And it's flexible because the touch screen can be tilted back until it lies completely flat, allowing the Inspiron to operate like a tablet (albeit a tablet that must be tethered to a wall outlet).
Each features a 1TB hard drive and Intel integrated graphics. I think the $1,399 review model represents great value. Not only does it bump you up to a Core i7 CPU while adding more memory, it also delivers a midrange AMD Radeon graphics processor and hybrid storage, which will be great for viewing my security cameras, and the data they record. With 32GB of solid-state cache added to the 1TB hard drive for faster system startup and resume from sleep.
The reviews on this unit also proved to be more than a pretty face in labs testing; It bested its all-in-one cIn PCMark 7, a synthetic suite that assesses a system's overall performance, the Dell was the only system of the five here to top the 5,000-point mark: In Competition, though to be fair the Dell cost more than the other models in benchmark charts. No problem I see with this as you pay for what you need. Also, in CPU-crunching Cine bench test, which renders a complex image to show a system's suitability for processor-intensive tasks, the Inspiron's Core i7-4700MQ edged the Vizio's older Core i7-3630QM: The Dell Core i7-4700MQ, bested all other computer’s in Multimedia, Graphics, and Game testing.
Conclusion; I really do like everything with this Inspiron 23. The overall design, from the sturdy base to the thin display, is attractive, streamlined, and free of gimmicks. The simple, double-
Jackson 2 hinged arm allows you to tilt the display until it's completely flat, letting you easily transition from desktop to tablet mode. The edge-to-edge glass and the responsive 10-point touch screen below it are a pleasure to interact with, whether the display is standing vertically, lying flat, or at an angle in between. Beneath it all, the core component lineup delivers outstanding performance.
The lack of an optical drive is not a problem. The lack of a battery is a more serious drawback, but it's not as if there aren't plenty of affordable, smaller tablets available for when you want to play games or surf the Web while lying on the couch. (This screen is a bit too big for use anywhere but on a tabletop, in any case.)
I will need to utilize the HDMI-out if I want to export the Inspiron 23's video signal to a larger display; the system lacks Intel Wireless Display (Wi Di) technology, which would let you beam video and audio to an HDTV equipped with a third-party adapter. Bluetooth and 802.11n wireless, however, are on board. The keyboard is compact and comfortable, but it lacks dedicated media-control and volume keys—you must use the function keys to adjust the volume and skip to the next track, for example. Perhaps I’m lazy, but I appreciate it when vendor’s reverse-map the function keys, so you don't need to hold the Fn button to perform these frequent actions.
I’m willing to forego an optical drive in laptops where the reduction in thickness and weight makes it appealing, but we are less inclined to give up a DVD burner or Blu-ray drive in an all-in-one. To watch movies and
