Dell India has launched three Dimension Desktop computers: the E520, the E521, and the C521; all aimed at home users and small businesses.

The main thing about these desktops is that they can be customized to suit specific needs, be it office or entertainment applications.

Dimension E520 and Dimension E521 are highly expandable and upgradeable; while Dimension C521, at around half the size of the E520 and the E521, offers mainstream entertainment features.

All new systems are Microsoft Windows Vista capable, and offer several performance features, multimedia options, and designs.

Each Dimension desktop ships with Microsoft Windows XP Home, and incorporates the Dell QuietCase technology that allows the system to operate quietly in homes/offices.

Depending on the desktop, customers can opt for either Intel Core 2 Duo processors or AMD Athlon 64X2 processors, and proceed to stream music, watch movies, and calculate spreadsheets at the same time.

Available multimedia options include: integrated 7.1 audio and graphics; ATI and Nvidia graphics cards for 3D games; and media card reader (optional) to manage digital content in a better manner.

Features specific to the E520 and the E521 are: up to two hard drives with Dell SecureData Backup; sound card options; and an IEEE 1394 port.

The E520 features Intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo processor options, eight USB ports; and four slots (one x16 PCIe, one x1 PCIe, plus two PCI). Whereas, the E521 includes AMD Sempron, Athlon 64 and Athlon 64X2 processor options; six USB ports; and four slots (one x16 PCIe, one x1 PCIe, plus two PCI).

While features specific to the C521 include: slim but expandable design; AMD Sempron, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 X2 processor options; choice of single optical and hard drives; six USB 2.0 ports; and three slots (one x16 PCIe, one x1 PCIe, plus one PCI).

Speaking at the launch, Rajan Anandan, Vice President & General Manager, Dell India, said, "This launch marks the expansion of Dell s strategic focus to the home and small business segment in India. We have built a leadership position amongst large corporates, and are now gearing up to address the exciting opportunities in the home and small business market."

In addition, Dell has introduced Web pages for home users and small businesses on its India Web site at www.dell.co.in. These pages will allow customers to research products and pricing, as well as customize and configure products online.

My name is Joe this has been a very bad experience for me. Dealing with Dell Computer technical support I have been on the telephone with Dell Technical Support since receiving a new computer E520 from Dell. The first computer had conflicts with PC Cillin and the DVD drive did not work. The second computer had a bad floppy drive and the third computer has conflicts in the BIOS. I have been on the phone trying to get a good computer from Dell since 11/28/2006, I am still having problems with the third computer. I also ordered a Fuji S6000 digital camera from Dell, that was a mistake, now I having to return the digital camera after one week. I paid for overnight shipping and now your CSR's are telling me they don't know when the camera will be shipped and yet they promised me overnight shipping. I have talked with over thirty or more people at Dell trying to resolve Dell computer and digital camera issues. Managers have hang on me and didn't bother to call me back. CSR's has been very rude and or not willing to take the time to help a customer. I remember a couple CSR's hang-up on me while I was explaining the computer problem (I guest they didn't want to listen). I talked to John a manager in Technical Support he stated that someone would be calling me to remove the floppy drive from the computer because the computer keep trying to read a floppy disk when shutting down. I ask John to send someone to remove the floppy drive and put in a spacer. It has been 3 days and John never contacted me. I wrote down several case numbers to show you how much time I have spent on the telephone trying to resolve a matter that could have been easily result by a caring CSR. You have some major problems with your customer care team. In Reference to case numbers 152390161,152365152,150233470,151284348,150051177,150047687,150198926,150203549,15001177,152475019,149984797,152338186,151524722,151523053,150912208, 150909794.
