Dell shows Its 81 percent Smallest Mini Desktop Ever

Dell Mini

Dell’s tiny new PC may bring attention back to desktops.

Dell CEO Michael Dell on Tuesday previewed what he called “the company’s smallest and most environmentally-responsible consumer desktop PC.” Dell previewed the desktop as part of Earth Day at the Fortune Brainstorm conference being held in Pasadena, California.

The small form-factor desktop is 81 percent smaller and uses up to 70 percent less energy than a typical desktop mini-tower, said Anne Camden, a Dell spokeswoman.

She declined comment on hardware specifications, brand name or pricing. Details will be released later this year when the desktop is released.

The desktop, which stands on a holder, will come in recycled and recyclable packaging, Camden said.

It will most likely compete with Apple’s Mac Mini and Everex’s MyMiniPC, mini desktops with full computing capabilities designed to save desk space.

Free File Clean-Up Tool ‘CCleaner’

 ccleaner

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it’s fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

I use CCleaner and I strongly recommend you do, too. That’s because the free utility scrubs your system and removes computer-clogging junk, including files in the temp folder and Internet cache.

What makes CCleaner so cool is that you can customize it so the tool deletes specific files and folders every time it runs. For instance, I have a junk folder that I use for files I need for the day, but want cleared out when I run CCleaner.

Customizing is easy. Choose the Options icon on the left, click Include, and add a file or folder using the buttons on the right. Another handy trick is in Settings: Add a “run CCleaner” context menu to your Recycle Bin icon. That way you don’t even have to open CCleaner; just right-click the Recycle Bin icon and choose “run CCleaner.”

I strongly recoment you to use CCleaner
