wow. ok... heres the deal. Either buy this one and be prepared to spend more money, or just spend the extra for the models with upgrades pre-installed. Windows has just gotten to be such a complex system that standard HDDs just simply do not work anymore. This comes with a spinning hard disk drive, brand new and out of the box it slows to the point of freezing, and many built in apps wont even launch. I bought this one because the upgraded model with more RAM and faster storage didnt have the disk tray or a USB-C port on the front. With this one, you should also buy an SSD. This motherboard has a spot for an M.2 SSD but does not have the screw to hold it in place. Either buy the 2.5" SSD and a bracket to replace the HDD or go buy the M.2 screw beforehand and get an NVMe M.2 SSD. You should also buy a new pack of RAM. This has 1x8gb stick installed and 2 slots. I haven't owned it long enough to look into the max supported amount but you could get a 16GB pack, 2x8GB sticks and vastly improve the experience. The Core i3 is more than enough for most tasks, even some very light gaming. It comes with embedded graphics and a pretty weak low profile power supply. Again, i haven't looked into upgrades so i don't know yet if you could fit a standard sized power supply into it but you'd need one for more than the lowest powered graphics card you can buy today. I've added a photo of the RAM use at idle, running only the app version of Firefox from the Windows Marketplace app store. I've already put in an SSD.

Bought this for homeschooling, worked for our needs. Was slow to boot up at times, but overall a good value

This Dell Desktop Inspiron 3891 is great for home, small office, student use. Dell has been a work hours for PCs for as long as I have known. Setup was super easy. Plug and play. It came with mouse and keyboard. All you need is a monitor. It went through a whole slew of Microsoft updates that took about 4 hours to get through. So after that I was completely up and running. Comes with Windows 11 home edition. It actually looks nicer than the regular version. I was able to run 2 monitors. 1 off of VGA one off of HDMI. I benchmarked this product and it was per spec. i3 @ 3.7Ghz 8 Gb Ram HDD 912 Gb. Out of box used 51 Gb. Comes with built in wifi. But I used hardwired Overall would recommend for simple use. Any heavy lifting like massive graphics will cause slow down. Young student, parent, or just using for Internet and clerical work this will be just fine. Anything more I would not recommend. Also the Hard drive is not solid state so it does have some noise when reading/writing.

Excellent Purchase for value and performance. Very fast performance any time. Windows 11 is totally improved and efficient. Self installation is flawless

You can not go wrong with a Dell computer. Nice to have DVD RW drive.
