    Computer is speedy and meets expectations. Have had to call dell support after 2 days would not boot up. No bootable disc available. Suspect problem was windows update. Able to restore computer with dell assist and so far ok. Intend to add more ram. Windows 11 awful. Need to be able to at least create boot disk as in past. Online mot reliable.

    Affordable, Upgradable & Compact Desktop Solution

    The Dell Inspiron 3030 Small Desktop is a compact PC that features the Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Space-saving design, with built-in Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth capabilities, making it suitable for home or office use. It also supports additional internal hard drive. I was able to add at least two SATA/HDD. However, there's no HDD caddy inside the case. You can either tuck the drives away from the motherboard and fan or buy the caddy separately. RAM is less expensive to upgrade separately. I'm a typical user who doesn't require high performance PC. As long as I can watch videos on the internet; use excel, word and email; and do my taxes, this PC is good enough for me.

    The Dell Inspiron 3030 desktop is great! The only issues I ran into was my monitor was out of date as well and setting up my printer was also problematic. However, once I was able to have the Geek Squad come out and troubleshoot my printer everything is great again!

    This no frills desktop is just the thing I needed as I was forced, as many of us are, to update because my old machine wasn't able to run Windows 11. Everything is up and running fine on my new Dell and I'm quite happy with its performance.

    Seems like a good general purpose computer. As with any change there are many things to get used to mostly with software - windows 98 is still my favorite!
