Mini PC Test: Dell Inspiron Zino HD

Find the best price

The Dell Inspiron Zino HD is more or less the direct descendent of its 2008 Studio Hybrid.  It's been redesigned and is now much closer in look to the Mac Mini, and now offers an interesting alternative to Apple's version of the desktop computer with a small footprint.

With a small footprint, an optional Blu-ray drive and 5.1 surround sound via the HDMI port, it has some of the building blocks of a media centre. 

But is at as good as a dedicated device?  And how does it perform with other tasks?
