Not only is the system full of screws, instead of tool-free accessories, but you don’t actually get all that much to work with compared with competing performance desktops. The practicalities of working inside the XPS 8300 are a little less pleasing. The system’s all-white chassis is a bit of an Apple-esqe departure from the designs we’re used to seeing in the performance category. As for video, the system’s graphics card supports two DVI connections, an HDMI connection, and a DisplayPort connection - the holy trinity of video options. Turn the system around, though, and you find four USB ports, one USB 3.0 port, one eSATA port, one SPDIF optical connection, one gigabit ethernet connection, and integrated connections for 7.1 surround sound, all making for a truly diverse PC. Take that, wires.Īnd while we’re on the subject of versatility, the XPS 8300 is stuffed to the brink with connection options for just about anything you throw at it, though the front of the case could stand a few more connections: It has two USB ports and a multiformat card reader. That’s not a make-or-break element that will suddenly inspire millions to rush out and pick up an XPS 8300, but it does give the system just that much more versatility in one’s home. One feature that really stands out as something unique in this category is Dell’s choice of wireless-N networking as a supplement to its existing wired gigabit setup. While these are generally standard add-ons in the performance PC category, we nevertheless appreciate that Dell didn’t try to cannibalize features in order to keep its costs down. You’ll still be able to crank the next-generation titles you throw at the XPS 8300, but its benchmarking results are among the lower scores of all the performance PCs we’ve tested over the past year.Ī two-terabyte hard drive is an excellent addition for such an inexpensively priced desktop, as is Dell’s inclusion of a Blu-ray combo drive. The system’s aging AMD Radeon HD 5870 GPU is a very good one, but its average recorded frame rate of 120.7 on Unreal Tournament 3 (at 2560 by 2100 resolution, high quality) is hardly a category-leading mark. The only real scuff mark on the XPS’s benchmarks comes from our graphics tests. One contender: The $1700 Micro Express MicroFlex 26B earned a 202 on our WorldBench suite, though it’s not as feature-filled. It earned a score of 162 - you’d be hard pressed to find any rival in the XPS 8300’s price range coming close, though systems based on overclocked Sandy Bridge processors do post higher scores (with higher prices to match). Accompanied by eight gigabytes of DDR3-1333 memory, the Sandy Bridge (second-generation Core) CPU helps the XPS 8300 make short work of our WorldBench 6 tests.
