Encyclopedia
Dell Dimension was a line of home desktop computer
s manufactured by Dell Inc. As of June 26, 2007, Dell replaced the low-end Dimension with the Inspiron
line of desktop computers, later offering higher-end consumer machines under the Studio
line in 2008. The Dimension is now sold to non-American markets. The last of the high-end Dimensions were the 9200 and 9200c (XPS 410 and XPS 210 in the American market). The E520/1 and their "C" models no longer exist, and are now part of the Inspiron line, which was previously only a laptop line, under the names Inspiron 530/1 (S) with a new case design.
