This computer is really good for the money. The only thing that needs to be upgraded is the graphics card, but this can wait until the graphics cards come down in price.

I purchased this computer after a best buy employee told me it would run my games on high settings no problem. Boy was that misleading. Only way to run my games is to set settings to very low. I didn't give up though. I purchased a better graphics card gtx 750ti and went to install it but was disappointed to find that this pc is not upgradeable. The processor is slow and clunky for gaming. I called dell for a replacement processor and was told that you can't replace it. Sad thing is best buy told me it was very upgradeable. I now am forced to tear apart a $705 paper weight and use what I can to build a pc that meets my requirements.If you only want to surf the Web or do light gaming than you should be happy with this. Don't be mislead like I was with the gaming pc name. Good luck and hope this review is helpful.

The video card is great.
The quietness of the machine is great.
2 major flaws. It seems to lose Bluetooth devices, and the network card seems to just stop working. I would literally be streaming Netflix and lose my internet connection. The only way to resolve that was to restart the computer. The networks wouldn't even show up, almost as if the network card was powering down.
I went to my device manager and sure enough, it was set to idle to "save power".
I have turned that option off and it has only happened once since then.
I was reluctant to buy a Dell based on past experiences I have had with the company, and this purchase just turned me off Dell forever. The Bluetooth device problem still persists, it will just not recognize devices I had previously had connected to the machine and working.
If you do buy this, I would suggest getting the in store service plan. My confidence in this product is very low.

The speed is great! Obviously the storage is awesome! I love how quiet it is. It's nice that I have 3X the storage of my previous pc, but this one is half the size. The red light is pleasing too.

My wife's laptop crashed hard and she needed a replacement system fast. After reviewing everything that was available in the store, and talking to the knowledgeable sales people in the computer section of Best Buy, we opted to purchase this model. It was extremely easy to setup and my wife was up and running within the hour after we got home.

I was surprised when I got the PC home to find out that hardly any application software came with the unit. All the other PC's I have purchased in the past came with word processing, spreadsheets, etc. This unit did not come with any of this. You could buy additional software. I guess I should have researched this before I bought it. I am happy with the performance after getting my necessary software installed.

I'm 49 and my last computer purchase was over 8 years ago. I jumped from windows xp pro.to windows 10. I am a slow learner with electronics but this set up is nice. I find windows 10 easy to work with so far. I would recommend this computer to anyone like me.

I game. Not as a serious gamer but I run graphic intense games on this. With a couple of tweeks it's running smooth on great settings. 16gb of memory is almost overkill. The graphics card is great for what I need it for.

I wanted a computer with lots of space to store "LOTS" of pictures, this was the best choice. I looked at this computer first when I walked into Best Buy and about an hour later after looking at others, I went back to this one to purchase.

We are happy with the computer but still adjusting to Windows 10. I miss all the software that came preinstalled previously on computers and unfortunately it is not compatible with my Dell printer which is not that old.

Like that it is small and compact. Although I am not a fan of windows ten but I guess I will get use to it. It was easy to set up and connect to network.

Have not had any problems so far. I've used it for some programming projects and gaming and everything has run smoothly (no crashes or driver issues).
