For the Money an Excellent Purchase
I purchased this for an Internet / Homework workstation, and it performs that job perfectly. Make sure not to download the bundled software option from Dell during the startup, but for other than that for the price (less than $200 when I purchased open box) this is a great system. At a non-sale / non-open box price its still a decent deal, you would be hard pressed piecing together a similar system for the same price when you include the Windows 8 OS. Has HDMI out, which is nice, and built in wireless. It isn't going to break any speed records or play any complicated games ... but for the money you can't go wrong. Also, the Dell standard laptop adapter plug is nice for a power source (they're a dime a dozen online if you ever need one).

Super desktop computer for home use.
This is a really great desktop computer for my needs. It is small and compact takes up less space than my old one. Has everything I need for home use. Installed a few programs that I typically use, no problem there. It was easy to set up, and the price made it quite affordable. Great system, and I have no complaints.

Good considering the price, best for basic use
You get what you pay for and with a cheap option like this you really can't expect much. It does what it's supposed to do. I got it so that I could work from home and limit it only for business which is basically almost entirely online. I don't use any type of programs on it and only have the bare minimum installed, like my printer software. Using it this way it does its job and is fast enough. It does seem that it can get clogged up and slow down pretty easily though and I would be scared to install a bunch of programs on this pc. I've found that if it stays on for too long of a period it seems like the background processes start to build up and the pc starts getting slower so I have to restart it to speed it up again. My biggest complaint is the issue with the power adapter. It comes with a 65 watt adapter out of the box but when you start up the computer it gives you a warning stating the pc will run in a low power state because it needs a 90 watt adapter which according to the pc was supplied with it. You can definitely tell it runs in a lower state as well. After looking farther into this it turns out that instead of sending you the correct adapter, Dell simply goes into your pc and changes the programming so that the message no longer comes up everytime you boot up. Luckily I had an extra 90 watt adapter laying around from an old computer and just used that and it's been working fine.

Good PC for the Price
I bought this to create a Minecraft server for the kids. It works well, is quiet and I've had no issues. It has built in graphics so this is not the best choice for a gaming rig but I recommend it for other uses.

Good product for the price - online ordering good
Product is what you would expect, easy to setup / use and for the price (on sale) it offers everything you could ask for. Good solution for low impact users.
