While the user interface is nice and the touchscreen has its abilities, this computer is slower than a snail. Not only can it not run small games like Minecraft, it can’t even run google chrome. Terrible. Honestly a waste of money.

It is good for a student who likes to play games and has a lot of school work. To do. And it doesn’t take up a lot of space

This is by far the slowest PC I have owned. It was advertised as “open box, all parts included”. It literally didn’t have anything with it. No keyboard, mouse, not even a charger.
Very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Inflexible Monitor Design

I cannot speak to the actual computer workings because I returned this Dell Inspiron All-in-One a day after I bought it. I did not like the design of the monitor...(1) It sits flat on the desk so you cannot put anything in or around it on the desktop without blocking, somewhat, view of the screen. (2) The ports in the back are located right underneath the flap that holds the monitor up so they are very difficult to access, even with the hole in the flap. (3) Because it sits flat on the desk, you cannot tilt it up or down for glare-resistance. I never even got around to trying out the computer workings, the monitor was too user-UNfriendly.

Efficient, big screen and good quality. Cant beat the price compared to other All-In-One computers. Works just as good as a desk top in my eyes for what I need it for.

I can't use skype successfully or zoom, it is very inadequate. I am not satisfied. I had to pay a technician to come in virtually and set me up as you gave me an appointment date 5 weeks later than my purchase. I am out hundreds of extra dollars and the computer is not working well for my needs. I've been told I need 8 or more bits or whatever they are for my work and this has only 4. If someone has helped me more adequately I would have gladly bought the next model up. I am very dissatisfied and I hope you can make good somehow on this purcase.

I purchased this desktop as an open-box item. It was noted that there was a small cosmetic blemish, but everything with the operating system was perfect. Well was that the farthest thing away from the truth! As soon as I turned it on it was slow and nothing seemed to work. I had a computer technician come set it up because I wasn’t even able to get Microsoft Office to download onto it. Well, the technician found the worst trojan he’s ever seen a computer infected with, another virus, and a two malware infections. 3-hours & $$ later the desktop finally works. I am very disappointed Best Buy sold me this item in the condition it was in without mentioning anything.

Should have been built with an SSD drive which would have improved the performance. I’m planning on spending the money ($80) and installing one. This will also require shrinking and cloning the original HDD. Disappointed with Dell on this.

Dell used to make good desktop computers; however, the all-in-one are not very good. This one is slow and sometimes I have to re-start it to keep working.
