    Not enough information on setting up, couldn't get thru so had to take it in for Geek Squad and they finally were able to set it up, No Manual for different tasks or options, very cheap of Dell, kind of disappointing as this is my third Dell. Had to have the Geek Squad out to my home at my expense to finalize options.

    2nd purchase of same product in the same year because of the great quality and need for the houshold. Both of them have been fot my children that use them nonstop. No complaints whatsoever. I do wish I would have purchased this last one at the same price than the last, almost $100 less

    Works great. Geek Squad did transfer from old computer so everything is good. My fault for not noticing but am disappointed that there is no actual disk drive...just a place holder for one.

    We replaced our old corrupted Dell with this one..We are hoping this Dell will serve us well. This product was within our budget and we are hoping it will last as long as our old Dell. We are just getting used to it and so far it has met our needs but time will tell as we get more familiar with it.

    I went to Best Buy to purchase a computer because mine got fried during a storm. I purchased a Dell - Inspiron 3880 Desktop - Intel Core i5- after talking with a sales rep. It has been a few weeks since my purchase and am Highly satisfied with the product.

    I bought myself a new Dell desktop computer for Christmas. I love it. I had my old Dell computer and monitor for at least ten years and had been wanting to upgrade my equipment for the last couple of years. I took my time and got what I wanted. I absolutely love it.

    This unit was purchased as an emergency temporary replacement for a computer that had been compromised and was brought in for repair. It suited the purpose well, worked well, and will be retained as backup and alternate uses.

    I bought a desktop computer because i forgot it wasnt 1998. It not even powerful enough to mine bitcoin... probably. I dont know anything about mining bitcoin. My kids like it because they can make 398 bookmarks in chrome very easily.

    I was disappointed that this Desktop did not have the DVD included for inserting diskettes. I was told by the salesman that this 2880 Desktop was the best for me. Thus, I had to go back yesterday and buy an attachment to make use of all of my DVD's and CD's. Please believe me, I have many DVD's and CD's to use and make!!

    The computer is easy to use and works as I had hoped. The only thing I regret is not noticing that it did not have a CD/DSVD drive. The picture on line showed one, but I did not pay attention to the one that I purchased. Just loved the price.

      We're sorry that you were looking for a CD/DVD drive in this desktop. The picture does show a cutout for a drive but unfortunately there is not CD/DVD drive built into this desktop. If you have a need for a CD/DVD drive you can consider purchasing an external drive from Best Buy like this one: http://bit.ly/2N8c7bq.
