The Mac mini is no longer the most compact desktop space, because the ultra-compact Inspiron Zino HD is now occupying the same footprint as the Apple rival but is using AMD processors in order to keep low costs and has options that are not available in Mac mini. Users will be astonished by how many powerful features are kept inside a perfectly small 7.8-inch-by-7.8-inch square. The Zino HD looks like a home theatre PC and sports native HDMI output and options as Blu-ray drive or Radeon HD 4330 graphics. There is also up to 1TB of disk space and the micro PC is based on the dual-core Athlon X2 or Athlon Neo X2 processors. There several top-side patterns and colours choices. All versions meet Energy Star 5.0 standards.

The base model starts with a single-core 1.6GHz Athlon processor, 2GB of RAM, a DVD burner, a 250GB hard disc drive and integrated Radeon HD 3200 video for a price of $359. A version with no optical drive will lower the price to only $299. The top version sports a 1.8GHz Athlon processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard disc drive and Radeon HD 4330 graphics. It is available at a price of $649. Orders will ship before the end of this month.
