All-in-one computers have certainly been a great alternative for bulky computer setups over the years. Despite the smaller form factor, it doesn’t stop the machine from performing just as powerful as their heavier, bulkier counterparts. Dell recognized this, and decided to go even further with their improved Inspiron AiOs for Computex 2019.

The improved Inspiron 24 5490 and Inspiron 27 7790 are the next-generation, sleeker versions of Dell’s all-in-one Inspiron lineup. Both models will sport the latest Intel processors and an optional NVIDIA MX110 graphics card. You can expect greater all-around performance, as well as decent gaming or graphics-intensive performance.

Both models also have an InfinityEdge FHD display, fit for a more theater-like experience. The display sits on top of a metallic stand and speaker grill, acting as its main speaker system. An HDMI-in port is also available at the back of the device, if you want to plug a console to the display. With all of these, your all-in-one device will feel more like a TV than just a regular computer in any room.

One key difference between the two models is the integrated yet hidden webcam, as the Inspiron 5490 comes with a 720p webcam. The bigger Inspiron 7790 comes with a 1080p webcam, yet both have an option for an IR facial recognition lens. The webcam is hidden behind the main display, giving you a full display to work on with nothing getting in the way.

The Dell Inspiron 24 5490 starts at US$ 699, while the Dell Inspiron 27 7790 starts at US$ 949. Although there’s no pricing for Singapore yet, Dell says they’ll come in mid-August.

New iMac with M3 chip coming later this year

Already in late stages of development

After the launch of the M2 series, Apple proved that the success of Apple Silicon’s M series was not a one-off deal. Now, fans of the brand are anticipating what’s coming next from Apple’s in-house chip production. They might not have to wait long, though. According to a new report, Apple is readying the launch of a new 24-inch iMac with the unannounced M3 chip later this year.

It’s been some time since the launch of the last iMac. Back in 2021, Apple unveiled the all-in-one device with the then-new M1 chipset. Naturally, the focus was on the processor. The component’s reveal teased the future for Apple’s macOS lineup. With the M2 chip in full swing, it’s not hard to think that the currently available iMac is a tad bit outdated already.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it won’t be long before a new one comes out. The new report shares that the upcoming iMac is already in “an advanced stage of development,” potentially paving the way for a release later this year.

Much like 2021, the device will come with a 24-inch display. It will also come in the same set of vibrant color options: Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, and Blue.

But, of course, the focus is on the M3 chipset. It’s still unknown how the chipset will stack up against the current slate of M2 chips. If the history of the M series is any indication, the M3 chip shouldn’t disappoint.
