Dell - Inspiron Desktop - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive

I like this computer very much, the only things I would like to share before you purchase though is that is does not come with a Microsoft office, that was an extra $120.00, and It only had 1 deck for your discs. Other than that, I like it very much, I use it at home for personal stuff, pictures, searching the Internet, down loading music, basic stuff, etc... For me it is very fast and a good buy in my opinion.

I bought this PC a couple months ago to replace my dinosaur PC and wanted something with a dual core Intel processor with at least 3ghz and 4gb of memory. I'm usually a build-your-own PC kinda person, but I didn't have the time to go through buying all the parts, waiting for them to be shipped and then putting them together, so I went pre-built. My roommate's family all have Dell computer's and they never have any problems, so I felt very comfortable with the brand. This is my first Dell and so far I'm quite happy with it! The first thing I noticed was just how quickly it boots up! I'm sure part of it is Windows 7, but I love that I turn it on and don't have to wait 5 minutes for things to load. My laptop has Windows 7 and it loads fairly quickly, but this is even faster! Another thing I noticed was that unlike a lot of other pre-builts, there weren't a ton of useless programs pre-installed on the thing. I think there was only one thing that I removed and that was the Best Buy pc app. Dell didn't add anything that I haven't found useful or necessary, plus it came with 6 months of anti-virus software pre-installed, so between that and the 6 mo. CD Best Buy included, I'm covered for a year. I did, however, add a new video card a week after buying it, but I was fully expecting to do this when I bought a new monitor. I'm a bit of a gamer, not hard-core, but I like my Guild Wars, Sims 3, and Medieval Sims, and the Intel X4500HD wasn't up to my standards because it doesn't offer any real dedicated video memory, plus with a 1080p HD monitor it will run much slower with those games. Installing the new card was a breeze!!! I didn't have to do anything except open the case, put the card in the slot, plug my new monitor into it (a 22" LG HD which is awesome), and power it up. The computer automatically detected the new card and deactivated the built-in without my having to do anything else. That is a very nice feature! Overall I would recommend this to anyone as it's fast enough to do everything I need it to do and then some!

This was my first time buying a DELL tower. I am usually a HP product person. But I can't say anything bad about DELL. I am very impressed and full happy with this purchase. It was money well spent. I am now truly a DELL fan. I cant say anything bad about WIndows 7. IT is AWESOME and so user friendly and great to use. This computer has the speed to explore the Internet. I give it all thumps up! I am one truly satsified customer with this purchase. I wish I would have upgraded sooner. Julie B, Polk City, FL

I am so glad I went with DELL, & a desktop a that. This Windows 7 is way better then window vista. I got the Dell tower inspiron &18.5 Dell monitor Bundle just WOW... Way worth the $$$. Always went with HP laptops, desktops, And all have failed me within 2 years max.!! They are cheap and slow..If you go cheap, well it is cheap.. never ever again... I have a new higher quality computer DELL , Cost a bit more, But way worth it... It's a great computer to have, Very,Very Happy.!!!

I bought the Dell Inspirion 580 for myself and my husband liked it so well that he wanted to upgrade from his old Dell Dimension. So a few weeks later we replaced it with this Dell computer. It seems as fast as the 580 but I do graphics and he only wants to surf the net and do email so we decided to get him this model.. He loves it and we hope that both computers continue to perform well and are reliable. We both replaced the keyboards which we found hard to type on. I feel that any product that you use a lot is worth the extra bucks. I guess you just need to upgrade your computer every 5 years or you don't get the full benefits of computing. I had to replace my computer because I got a few viruses and the tech who said he got rid of them didn't tell me that the computer would never run the same unless he wiped the drive. I should have never spent all the money trying to fix the old computer BUT I didn't back up my files on an external hard drive. Please take my advice and back up your data. If I had backed up my data I would have just junked the old computer and got this new one without spending mucho $$$$ fixing the old computer. At least I was able to get my files off the old computer.. an expensive lesson to learn..

The Dell Inspiron has worked great right out of the box. We bought it to replace an older HP. This is our first experience with Dell and we are very pleased. The computer is very fast and was easy to set-up. It has plenty of features and lots of memory so we probably will not need to get another computer for quite some time.

Out of the package, the keyboard and mouse are comfortable and ergonomic. Internet speed is substantially faster than I expected (using high speed). Verizon FIOS and MS Office Pro loaded and their set-ups worked well with no software or address conflicts (I did however, uninstall the preloaded versions of Office and McAfee before doing the MS Office CD and FIOS/McAfee security suite downloads). Internet use is exceptionally stable with long downloads easily performed. This box has a set of memory card slots which speed up downloading files and photo images. The only issue with the first box was that the DVD/CD writer failed to write. Took it back to BB and Geek Squad confirmed writer's failure. They exchanged it for a another box which has performed flawlessly.

This is my second Dell computer. They have proved to be very reliable and easily upgradable. A great all around computer
