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.

    We purchased this system for lite use. Within 3 weeks the hard drive died and we now have to wait until Dell can come out and replace due to Best Buy's 15 day return policy.

    Computer is excellent -- however, Microsoft whould have been satisfied with Windows 7! Windows 8 is just a n excellent example of "if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!!

    When I took it out of the box and looked at the back it only had 2 USB ports which is not what was advertised. I took it back to the store, the clerk confirmed that it was not what I ordered and instead of offering me a replacement she told me that I can buy a USB hub to provide me more USB ports. I told her no thank you and asked for my money back.

    Feature Packed Computer

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

    This computer is packed with features such as wireless, bluetooth, HDMI, DVD drive. The small size is very pleasant over the normal sized towers as the DVD drive sits vertically. There is also no fan as the CPU runs cool, it is very quiet. The power cord is a laptop cord,consequently the transformer is not enclosed in the case. The CPU is also designed for laptops. I realized that this tower is really just a laptop computer housed in a tower case. But the DVD drive spins at 7200 rpm which is faster than a laptop's drive. Be warned however, this is an entry level processor. Netflix plays perfect. The only problem that I have had are the news videos in Yahoo are jerky when I click on them. Perhaps this could be a connection issue. You tube also plays perfect. Overall, this computer is a great value for an entry level tower.

    Bought the to use as a media hub. The power adapter packaged with it is not made for it. Didn't even turn on. Go buy a Mac mini.

    When I plugged in this computer (with Windows 8), I could not find any way to find an internet browser. When I accidentally stumbled upon one, it acted as if it were infected with a virus and it was not even slightly familiar. I felt as if I had never met a computer before and had no idea how to "work" it. I felt like an idiot. I don't know if it was the computer, the operating system or if it was a return that had something wrong with it, but I returned it within an hour of purchasing it.

    Great affordable desktop computer!

    If you want an affordable desktop computer that works great than this is the one. It was simple to set up, and for the price I couldn't beat it. It runs all apps that I need and I haven't had an issue with it since purchase. I've had mine for 6 months now. Windows 8 was a little different but it was fairly easy to get use to or work around. Highly recommend.
