    The best value I found for the money. It's plug and play setup took lees than 10 minutes and we were back in business. Plus you get the full Dell warranty. Awesome deal!

    My Dad (87) is having problems with his Windows XP PC so I bought this for him to see if he could adapt to Windows 8.1. He mostly uses his for email and to surf the web so he doesn't need much power or storage space. This was a clearance item from a local Best Buy. Seems fully functional. Haven't had any issues at all so far. My first Pentium PC was an Acer and I never had any problems with it.

    Overall this CPU operates well. It does have a couple of glitches that I need to call Geek Squad about. I am getting error messages such as MEMORY MANAGEMENT, and now my Internet connection is gone. It is telling me to connect an ethernet cable, but I have a wireless connection because my Internet provider is DISH satellite. Also I was connected in the morning, and then in the afternoon it wouldn't let me connect. I am sure there is just a little bug that needs to be worked out.

    Bought two of these desktops for a nursery school I work at. Small, simple, and great for basic web surfing, etc, decent wireless range. No complaints, solid desktop at this price.

    I bought this desktop because I needed a desktop that would fit under my work station and not compromise to much space. And I am very satisfied with the function and it's size.

    Replacing my 10 year old clunker with this sleek, lightweight "mini" tower was the best thing I've done in a decade! Plenty of power for my needs and takes up half the space.

    I like the computer, it does everything I need it to. However, I'm not that happy with windows 8. I had to get a free word processor, since Windows 8 only comes with a trial edition of the word processor. I am now having problems connecting to the internet--which seems a common problem with this op.

    Nice computer, very quiet, and was surprised how fast windows 8.1 starts up. This computer runs programs faster than my HP Vista with 6 GB of Memory did. I don't understand all the negative reviews of Windows 8.1. I like it.
