My daughter convinced me to upgrade my computer after she had tried all she could to tweak mine. This guy has a nice small footprint but is very fast and works great. The only problem I had with it, is the power button can be hard to see in low light if you don't know where to look for it because they had it blend with the texture of the rest of the computer case. Otherwise, I think its just about as good as you can get at a good price, with a small footprint, for an everyday computer.

This is a great little mini workstation Dell did really well with us by installing a 512 Gig SSD drive and then also equipping the box with eight gigs of memory. The video outputs are basically a HDMI and a conventional 15 pin VGA so if you pair this up with two monitors which the video card can drive this makes a great little workstation. The unit comes with a built-in Wi-Fi card so if you don’t have a cable to get on your local area and at work that’s not a problem. There are two high speed USB 3.0 ports on the front and two of them on the back which is enough for today’s operations with peripherals. Dell has changed the plastic box on this computer with a textured box instead of a smooth one so it doesn’t leave a lot of marks or fingerprints and is pretty aesthetically pleasing. One of the things that is missing on most high-end machines today is a simple DVD drive this unit comes equipped with a laptop style thin DVD drive and it’s perfect for office operations or small office operations

I have purchased Dell computer products for several decades now and I continue to be impressed with the quality. I have never had any issues with any of the products purchased. They are reliable and function flawlessly. This generation of desktop offers a very quiet operating unit with very fast responses. I highly recommend this product.

Great desktop, bought this to replace an older iMac for a co-worker. I like Dells because they are so open with documentation and upgrading and repairing them is so much easier because of this policy. We are using it with cloud based systems and it works fine. I did buy the memory modules to upgrade it but I have not had to put them in yet. Anyone can add memory to these, open it up and click them in, it is super easy. Also very easy to upgrade or replace the drives. We replaced all of our computers this year (we are a smaller company so it is not something we do yearly). Normally we replace as needed but my boss decided to upgrade all. I did allot of research before choosing Dells and it is their open policy that tipped the scales.

Worked great from the beginning. Really easy start up. Very fast with the SSD and enough ram to be able to open up demanding programs to work from home. Only had for a few weeks but no problems so far.

I have always loved HP computers and still do. However, a year and a half ago I purchased a Dell laptop only because it had all the features I was looking for. It was my first laptop ever and I fell in love with it. My stepdad wanted to upgrade to a better PC, so I ordered this one for him. We are both impressed with its lightning speed. Set up was a breeze. Dell did a fantastic job with their SupportAssist program. If you’re looking for a fast and efficient PC at a decent price, look no further.

Bare bones (as expected), but decent out of the box; added RAM (maxed @ 16GB) and 2x 1TB 2.5" SSDs (there is an "open" SATA port on the MB and I used a dual mounting bracket to add 2 2.5" SSDs. On board graphics suffice for home office use. Boot time is great, even after WinX updates, Office, etc. installed. Great desktop for my wife's home office. She loves the speed (a major upgrade from her Inspiron laptop).

When I went to pick up my online purchase of the this Dell PC, it had gone on sale, and I received a refund. That was great, but what is even better, is its performance. Faster speed, Windows 10, and several months of the Geek Squad’s protection made this a sweet deal. In addition, it was easy to hook up to my old equipment wires and to activate my free software.
