Great Gaming Desktop

It’s a great gaming desktop! I can run Epic settings on Fortnite and max resolution without any lag and the usual FPS is 100-130 it drops but it’s understandable. I can also run League of Legends at 200-300 FPS on max settings, it’s a wonderful gaming desktop. It is however my first gaming desktop. And if you like Minecraft the pc runs at 600+ FPS on certain modes and with shaders on I run at 100 FPS it’s great! It’s also great that there’s an Alienware control panel where you can control your fan speed for certain games and see your gpu and cpu temperatures and how fast they are running. Overall great gaming desktop, but the fans at “performance” in thermal is loud!!!

Great Basic Gaming Desktop!

This is a great basic gaming desktop - especially for the price! I've tried it out on several games so far with the max graphics settings and it's performed fantastically. No lag, clear picture, and minimal fan sound. The sleek design means that it doesn't dominate the desk too. Overall, we're very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it.
The only drawbacks (and they are minimal): The blue light on the front looks awesome at first, but ended up being too bright for our little living room, so we had to cover it up. The lack of an internal disk drive is also a bit inconvenient, but nothing that can't be solved for with an external drive (or just by using a different device for those).

There’s plenty to love about the G5 desktop. At its base price, you’re getting a very capable casual gaming system. It is a solid system for Office tasks, web browsing, media consumption, and 1080p gaming.

We needed to upgrade our machine because of Windows 10 and this works.
SSD makes it fast; several USB-3 ports very useful.

Slow, and graphics card not same as picture

I do not use this PC for gaming, but I bought it for high level multitasking for work. I have never seen a PC with a SSD that starts up, or awakes from sleep so incredibly slowly. I have seen HDD drives perform faster. Also, the pictures show a graphics card with 3 display ports, 1 HDMI, and 1 DVI however, it actually only comes with one of each. I also installed an additional 8GB Ram stick to give me 16GB, and even a task of clicking on something simple like file explorer sometimes takes over 10 seconds to bring up the window. I can go to Start, My PC, and C:\ faster than it loads by clicking on the folder on the task bar. I would not recommend.

Brand response from YourDellTeam
Posted .
Andre,
Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that you're not more satisfied with your Dell desktop. If you'd like to improve startup times we'd recommend limiting the number of programs that launch at startup:
1. Close all open windows. 2. Press CTRL + Shift + ESC key together on the keyboard. 3. In the Task Manager window, click Startup tab. 4. Select the program or application that you want to disable from loading during startup. 5. Right-click and select Disable. 6. Repeat Step 4 & 5 for all the programs or applications that you want to disable from loading during startup. 7. Restart your PC.
We will let our team know about the picture that you described online so they can update anything if it needs to be.
Best, Bryan 1-800-624-9896

Needed another work station. Had a good price. Had trouble getting new ram to work in it (no, didn't try and mix the ram). Had to get identical ram that came with it from online. Probably would not buy another.

how do you sell a computer without a hard drive?
Just happy that the return process was simple.
