Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Inspiron 3880's performance, ease of use, and its small size, frequently citing the good value for the price. However, a significant number of customers noted the lack of a DVD drive as a major drawback. Some also mentioned that the speakers and the amount of RAM could be improved.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Bought it for someone thinking they would be able to upgrade it down the line via power supply and video card upgrade, but regular power supplies don’t fit and the connectors on the motherboard are made to not work with regular power supplies.

    Do you see a slot for a DVD writer? I did. The salesman did. Guess what? It is a mirage! There is NO DVD writer or player in this tower! I had specifically asked for a tower with a DVD which was situated horizontally. I read the reviews of towers that had vertically situated DVD writers and they failed to last very long. So, my intent was to buy a tower with a horizontal one. I was duped!

      Greetings giveitawhirl,

      Thanks for your feedback on your new Dell desktop. While this computer does not have an optical drive we would recommend looking into an external drive option from Best Buy like this one: http://bit.ly/2N8c7bq.
