This is a very fast computer, and very intuitive, but it's a little loud , and I would recommend that a person has BB install 16g of RAM or more rather than the basic 12g , it's just not enough for a lot of downloads and applications. Doesn't come with wireless mouse or a mousepad , so they could of done better! System makes you buy Microsoft office unless you want to do a convert to Word . Advanced skills on this one .

I bough this computer for CAD Design figuring to upgrade a few things. It's okay and works fine if you don't need more video card. It's all in the details, that I didn't look close enough at. Lets start with there are only 2 ram slots so you can upgrade the ram by replacing it not adding to it. Also understand this computer doesn't have an optical drive. Now my biggest issue with this computer is the power supply that is 200 watt which means unless you want to replace it rewiring the entire computer you are extremely limited on upgrading the video card

Great PC. Bought to replace a failing Dell PC and we love it. Also got a larger monitor for my husband to use. Great price for the bundle we received. No concerns or issues so far!

I was looking for a PC within a reasonable price, and I found this one. Working on this machine is awesome, speed, smooth looks with Windows 11, or even windows 10.
This computer memory can be upgraded, so imagine, if 12GB can make me feel so confident, I bought the correct computer, imagine if you upgrade it to even more Ram memory!

Win 11 is a new ballgame, and takes some getting used to. The PC itself is excellent, quite fast and plenty of USB ports. Light weight compared to the unit it replaces, but I would have liked to have an onboard optical disc drive, other than that I have no complaints with the unit.

Great Dell Workstation!!!

This wonderful workstation was purchased so that we could run our intuit QuickBooks program on it. Intuit tends to need a computer that has a lot of specifications and high processor speeds. This computer far exceeded the needs of the newest version of QuickBooks 2022 and actually runs all other applications like Microsoft office home and student and any other applications with no problems at all.
The computer also has no issues with video output very nice quality built in video card and works just fine. The sound quality is OK since it is just a day-to-day workstation.

This computer is fast. The fan noise in a quiet room will drive you crazy and it's not just a flaw I took one back already because of the fan noise. (only botherersome when in a quiet room like a office) The computer is fast like I said earlier but basically not upgradable so what you buy is what you get.

Works great but is very loud. I don’t know if it’s the processor or something else but there’s a loud whirring sound that is extremely annoying if you use you pc a lot, which I do. The sound is off putting when you’re trying to concentrate. I don’t recommend if you need a quiet workspace while working.

Good pc for everyday use with pretty fast boot times. Upgraded to 64gb of ram however began to have memory stop codes causing system reboots. 48gbs seem to work well with the nvme ssd at 512gb which appear to be the max and a 1tb ssd installed. All in all, good purchase.

Really nice computer. I have not owned a desktop in years. I am glad I purchased this machine. Plugged it in and the setup was easy. Every peripheral device I had connected right up and was working perfectly.
All said, I like the HDD a lot. It operates very quietly and fast. There is some room for upgrading the machine if a person should want to.
Good machine at a good price.
