Very pleased with my purchase, the PC runs fast and was extremely easy to set up. I was concerned at first when I didn’t see any printed instructions in the box but after plugging it in it guided me through setup and was super easy! It is a little wider than the slim dell tower we had previously but really doesn’t take up much space our desk is pretty large

Misleading specs

I purchased the Dell DECT1250-5067BLK-PUS expecting the upgrade options and hardware configuration described in Dell’s own product materials. Unfortunately, several key specifications were inaccurate or misleading, and the actual hardware inside this model does not match what Dell advertises.
1. PCIe Expansion Slot Description Is Incorrect
Dell’s documentation suggests usable expansion capabilities, but the internal layout tells a different story. This system includes only one PCIe x16 slot that is electrically limited to x4, plus a single x1 slot. Dell’s descriptions imply a more flexible expansion path than what this proprietary motherboard actually supports.
2. GPU Upgrade Claims Are Unrealistic for This Model
Dell promotes this model as “easy to upgrade,” including graphics expansion. In reality:
• The chassis lacks the clearance for a standard-length GPU.
• The proprietary Dell power supply has no PCIe power connectors.
• Both the PSU and motherboard use proprietary Dell connectors, making replacements impossible.
Despite Dell’s marketing, GPU upgrades on the DECT1250-5067BLK-PUS are essentially not feasible.
3. Storage Expansion Was Misrepresented
Dell’s listing suggests additional internal storage support, but this system includes only one usable M.2 NVMe slot, and the SATA bays are not equipped with brackets, wiring, or functional access — rendering expansion claims misleading.
4. Proprietary Components Not Disclosed Clearly
The DECT1250-5067BLK-PUS uses a proprietary motherboard layout, proprietary power supply, and nonstandard connectors. This severely restricts the upgradeability that Dell advertises and should be disclosed upfront for buyers who plan to expand their system.
5. HDR Output Capability Was Incorrectly Implied
Dell’s specifications indicate HDR support, but the integrated graphics in this model do not provide proper HDR output in real use. This should be clearly stated so customers are not misled about display capabilities.
Overall, the DELL DECT1250-5067BLK-PUS works fine as a basic workstation, but Dell’s published specifications overstate the upgradability and hardware support. Accurate and transparent specs are essential, especially for customers who purchase based on expandability.

Bought this to replace an aging XPS that did not meet Windows 11 and Turbo Tax requirements. So far find it to be a speedy and easy to use desktop. While it came with no documentation or instructions with the help of Google AI had no trouble setting it up and transferring my stuff. One negative : The audio port is in the front panel and there are no extra connections for audio like optical or RCA. No problem as I got a cheap USB to 3.5mm adapter to clean up the front. Also added 16 gb of memory so it is humming. I find Windows 11 fine also. Very happy with purchase.

My wife loves her new Dell desktop. It's definitely the quietest desktop we've ever worked with. It's fairly compact and fits perfectly below her desk. It has sufficient RAM and storage to handle all her work needs. We would definitely recommend this unit.

This small tower Dell Intel 16 GB memory desktop with 10 cores is extremely fast. It can handle working with many open apps simultaneously while browsing many multiple windows with ease. Having Bluetooth, WiFi6 and ethernet connectivity has made it easy to connect to. I particularly like the 4 USB ports and media card reader easily accessible on the front. Minor drawback is the lack of an optical disc reader/writer.

I have only had Dell desktops. They never disappointed and only replaced due to their age. This desktop is awesome and is so small compared with the older models. The setup was definitely easy and it's so much faster.

Dell has matched up the reviews I read and people I spoke too. Dell moves at a great speed and very quiet. I was hoping that Dell would be much better than HP and they have. We have 2 in office and waiting for the third to arrive.

Though I have not had the opportunity to put my new Dell-Desktop-Intel Core Ultra 5 225 2025 through all of it's paces, so far I'm finding the machine to perform well. The Windows 11 takes a little time to get used to since I was using W-10 for the last 12 years. Compared to my old machine, it responds lightning quick to opening programs and webpages. So far, I'm very satisfied with it.

I like my new PC. It is fairly fast and really light. I had to get a new PC, because my old PC had windows 10, which will no longer be supported. I'd prefer the audio connection on the back, or at least have it on both places. Also, it would be nice to be able to add another hard drive for backup.
