Dell is getting right on board the 'media centre' (ie computer-telly hybrids) bandwagon with its two latest arrivals. The Dimensions 5150C and 9150 both sport Microsoft Media Center (sic) 2005 and Intel's Viiv technology, which features dual core chips. According to Dell, both PCs boot up extra-quickly in an effort to emulate 'turning on' a normal TV. The machines are able to stream the inbound TV signals to 10 other computers around the house. Which is a bit ambitious, considering that well under half of Irish households have even one computer. The 5150C is €990, while the 9150 (which has a 1GB network card) is €1,040 from Dell.ie.
