Dell’s latest all-in-one desktop is basically a low-cost computer packed into the guts of a 19.5 inch display and an optional touchscreen.

Since it also has a built-in battery, you can pick up the Dell Inspiron 20 3000 Series desktop and move it from room to room, or lie it flat on your lap or a table for playing games, viewing maps, or doing whatever else you’d want to do on a relatively inexpensive 20 inch tablet.

Prices start at $450 for a touchscreen model and just $350 for a model without touch.

Don’t expect a ton of power from a battery-toting all-in-one in that price range. The new Dell Inspiron 20 3000 Series desktops feature a choice of Intel Celeron N2830 dual core or Intel Pentium N3530 quad-core Bay Trail processors, Intel HD graphics, and 1600 x 900 pixel TN displays (which means you’ll get limited viewing angles).

The systems feature 2GB to 4GB of RAM and come with a 500GB hard drive, an SDXC card reader, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, and 10/100 Ethernet. There’s a kickstand built into the back of the computer.

Ports include 3 USB 2.0 ports and a headset jack. Dell offers wired and wireless keyboard and mouse options. The computer also has speakers with an integrated sub-woofer.

Dell’s spec sheet lists operating system options including Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 with Bing, and Ubuntu — although it’s not clear if all of those options will be available in all markets.

And if you were planning on using the Dell Inspiron 20 as a tablet, note that the touchscreen model weighs over 8 pounds, which might make it a bit heavy to hold. The non-touch version is a bit lighter, and 6.8 pounds.

Dell says the Inspiron 20 3000 Series AIO should be available in the US starting July s1st. It should already available in some other countries.

  1. If the chipset already has USB 3.0 why wouldn’t they wire at least one of those instead of 2.0 for all three ports? Was there a spike in the price of blue-colored plastic? I’m assuming that the Dell lacks auto-rotate sensors for landscape vs. portrait, unlike a real tablet
