Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Inspiron Desktop's affordability, ease of use, compact size, and performance for everyday tasks. Many appreciate its quiet operation and the inclusion of HDMI and wireless capabilities. However, some users found the operating system and limited RAM to be drawbacks. The integrated graphics card also received criticism for its inability to handle demanding applications.

    Overall a good low end desktop computer. Keyboard and mouse that came with the unit are very low end. No major flaws other than that. Nice purchase for the price.

    Great PC

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'll start off with what the best buy website informs: has 2 3.0 USB ports & 6 2.0 USB ports. It truly has 4 USB ports of 2.0 entry & only 1 3.0 port on the rear. If it wasn't for everything else I would've returned it. I'm relieved it has wireless connection. Such a nice feeling putting away my old used Ethernet cable. Bluetooth connection comes in handy too. Set up was incredibly easy & fast. I love the PC is so lightweight & quiet compared to my previous model (Compaq Presario SR1000; windows XP). It doesn't overheat like my old one. I placed it next to the monitor, with so much space. I desperately needed to upgrade my PC. Windows 8 isn't as great as I thought it would be but it's a satisfying experience. 500Gb is sufficient for me, I have a portable 1TB drive, where I keep my movies/ tv shows. The HD graphics are superb. The only disappointment are the USB port numbers. I didn't like the misinform. I'll be calling them about this.

    This is a very good basic desktop computer for casual use. It has enough power and features for surfing the net, media playback and some documents. Installation was very easy and fast.

    Probably would have been excellent had it came with a windows 8 manual so one would know how to work the programs, charms, etc.

    I am very, very dissatisfied with my new computer, Windos 8.1. I thought it might be me., but I have other use it and they say the same thing. When searching the internet for information, I never get to where I have searched. There are always pop-ups in the middle of my transactions. The CPU unit has a clunking noise when I turn it on.

    The Dell desktop did not meet my expectations. I am not a fan of the new cloud based technology. Unit may be a good fit for a young child, however, elementary school.

    Isn't the best computer at handling big file times, like running computer games. Slows down pretty easily. But if you need it to do simple tasks then it's more than capable. Good at multitasking like listening to music and searching web. Just don't expect it to be the greatest computer but it's good for the price.
