    Mic jack isn't.

    So far so good. Performs well. One thing is the "microphone input" is kind of misleading. It has a "unified" 3.5mm jack on the front. Some documentation calls this a mic input. It's not. It's for a headset with a mic with a 4-connector plug. If you plug a mic in directly, it won't work. Supposedly there are splitters that you can buy that split that connection to separate headset and mic jacks. Waiting for mine to arrive and we'll see.

    I"ve had privately built computers and I decided to give this Dell Inspiron 3030 at try. Setting up a new computer was certanly interesting. One must set up the ISP Modem and Wifi router first, but after that it's mostly smooth sailing. If you've saved or backed up your files, photos and etc. to the cloud, it is nearly instantly installed on your new computer with a few simple moves...if you've done this before you already know, no more old timey backing up! I like it!

    My old Dell Desktop would not ac omodate Windows 11. My new Dell Desktop 3030 with I7 processors runs it easily, quickly and very smoothly. Has plenty of storage and memory for all of my home needs as well.

    The tactics your salesman used and the stuff he sold to me weren’t what I wanted. I’m so disappointed in Bestbuy tactics to push you away from the computer system I needed and selling monitors that had to be sent back! I was under time constraints that I couldn’t meet.

    This is my 4th Dell Desktop computer that I have bought. I bought it for its features but also from my past experiences with Dell products. All have been excellent, reliable, and on the rare occasion I have had an issue, it was resolved immediately the first time. I am still learning how to use the new features WIN 11 has that differ from WIN 10 but the computer is working flawlessly. Not only does it have all the features I needed, it was also at a great price and included an extended 2-yr warranty at no additonal cost.

    Desktop was an "open box" purchase. Computer was in perfect condition. All peripherals were included. Set up and data transfer from old unit was a breeze. Have had unit for 8 weeks with no issues. Saved $300 over buying directly from Dell, which came without optical drive & SD card reader, which this unit had. Ordered online and received within 72 hours. Great deal.

    After 6 months of use and periodic updates I can say that it is a good computer with an optimal performance for its level. I recommend it for a small office, it more than covers the expectations.

    I recently reached the point at which my windows 7 machine finally failed to function. Upon replacing the mortally wounded device with this new Dell desk top I found the painful chore of using a moribund device has been transformed into the joy of computing once again. DELL UBER ALLES!!! Try it and have fun again y'all.

    This pc is a dream. Took it home, hooked it up with ease and was up and running in no time. The crew at Best Buy told us everything there is to know about this Desktop. They left nothing for off the table. We haven’t had one bit of problems!

    Very pleased with this new computer. It is very fast and windows 11 is not much of a change from windows 10. But I was disappointed that I could not download my windows office I purchased with my older machine and had to purchase a newer application.
