    bought this a a birthday present, kicking out the i3-3770. great speed, boots almost instantly. I wanted one with a DVD drive, very scarce nowadays. Also was looking forward to putting in a 3060 GPU, but as the photos show, no dongle for it, and underpowered too. Appears PSU is custom job as well, and only 2 memory slots (but with 5600MT DDR5, who cares). Went with a 1060OC and works fine. Just wish it was a bit more customizable

    Easy to set up; nice chance to start keeping a "cleaner" desktop and not be so junky. Loads and runs faster than my previous pc. I like Dell, and this one is running really well right out of the box. I also added a fingerprint reader to get better security and speed up access.

    I am old school and a laptop just isn't going to do it for me. I don't need all the latest features, but having sufficient memory for me to conduct my home business on a desktop computer is important, and this tower computer delivered. I am happy with the way it has been performing with Microsoft Word and my other applications. The one issue that came up for me is that I was unfamiliar with the additional port for a second screen. I used the HDMI port for the first monitor, but I learned that I needed an HDMI adapter for the second monitor. Thanks to Geek Squad, I was able to locate what I needed, and I have no complaints. Quality investment!

    I overall like the machine as it is fast and quiet but it seems to be lacking a couple ports. It does not have as many USB ports as prior computer. The audio port seems to be just audio and not a full headset with microphone. Haven't had a chance to check out 2nd video port for an extended desktop.

    Received as described. Easy set up. Includes a DVD drive which is rare these days. Plenty of performance and quick response while using various programs. Attractive case that is closer to black than blue and a good size, not too large but not a small PC either.

    So happy with our new Dell! The speed is amazing. Your programs run without delay or lagging. It is also so quiet that you don't even hear it on. Lastly, it's the smallest desktop we have ever had, makes it convenient and space saving.

    Tower shipped in stated timeline and in good condition. Tower had all the ports as advertised. Good price compared to other retailers. On start-up Windows ran fine but Dell preloads a ton of unnecessary software that i deleted. Time from power up until satisfactory operations took me three hours.

    This computer meets my needs for speed and value. It replaces an older and slower 4 year old computer. The 1 terabyte SSD drive is very welcome and has plenty of capacity. The only drawback, at least to a dinosaur like me, is it only has 1 DVD drive and no place for a second one.

    So far my new Dell 3030 i-7 is a wonderful upgrade, speed is impressive for office work, internet, etc (I'm not a gamer) tiny foot print, compared to i-3 it replaced. Highest recommend--DOESN'T have speakers in tower, an unfortunate surprise (costing another $100). I got it open box (excellent condition saving 20%)
