Dell Introduces "Entertainment" PCs Prices at $500

I giggle when people tell me that someday computers are going to run everything.

Someday?

There's a computer out for just about everything now. I've seen refrigerators with computers in them (for tracking your food with RFID, not surfing the Web). The next battleground appears to be with low-cost, high-end computers that are meant for running home and mobile entertainment systems.

Sony and Microsoft have already started battling with their current-generation game systems. But the fight is spreading and per usual, Apple has the coolest entry: I've seen the Mac Air up close, and while I despise everything the company "stands" for, I have to say it was pretty spectacular.

Dell, too, has jumped into the market as well announcing its mini-computer.

"With this box, Dell brings solid price, performance and interesting styling that isn't out of place in a living room or family room," said Olds. "For most people, this won't be their only computer, but it may become the most used computer since it is really designed to become an entertainment hub."
