    My old HP almost 10 years old decided to stop working. I needed a computer so I just went right in to get one. I bought the entire package with all extended warranties. This DELL is so much smaller, lightweight to carry, easy to connect, and clean. Its much faster, and can hold much more materials as its a 1TB drive. So far 6 weeks into the purchase I am extremely pleased with my DELL and don't know if I will ever buy another kind of computer. Make sure if you're plugging in any external drives, or devices you use the back USB ports. Because I couldn't get my SeaGate external drive to work for 4 weeks until the Geek Squad said try the back ports instead. It connects directly to the mother board and make sure they are plugged in USB and power before you turn on the computer. Other than no issues, so very pleased. Thank You Best Buy and DELL for putting out quality products!!

    Great computer for rendering videos

    Just starting to render video files for my youtube channel and wanted an affordable computer that would do the job quickly. The 8 gig ram, which is upgradable to 16, performed nicely. Small tower fit nicely in my small office area as well. The only thing I can criticize is the cd slot being vertical vs. horizontal. The speed of loading pages and multitasking with several windows open I thought would be slow, but again I was surprised with the performance in speed and processing my requests. A great buy for the price!

    The Dell had a old win 10 that needed a long update. Had offers loaded for McAfee, which I hate. Trouble trying to delete all the stuff I don't need. Very silent running PC, fairly good speed, and easy setup.

    My Mom's old computer stopped working so she needed a new one. I did some research and trust Best Buy to have great "stuff" at reasonable prices and guess what? They didn't disappoint. This computer is exactly what my Mom needed to surf the web, watch videos, play Scrabble and Bejewelled 3, email, and use Microsoft Word. This computer is able to do all the basics plus more. If you're looking for a simple computer at an unbeatable price then look no further.

    Bought as a replacement for an old (12 years) machine, this computer has been great. It was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly since. It's quick with lots of storage and handles new add on devices easily. I don't game on it so I can't speak to gaming capabilities. I'm very satisfied.

    My new Dell computer works very well and serves my simple daily needs very well. It was easy to set up and get it running and easy to operate. Compared to my worn out previous computer this one is like a real whiz. I am very pleased. Also the folks at the "Geek Squad" were so helpful with patience and good explanations.

    Does not have built in speakers or microphones

    I really appreciate the quality of this Dell computer. It is a nice design and stands upright rather than flat so it takes up little room. It is sleek and attractive. My only complaint is that it does not have built in sound nor a microphone so you have to buy them separately. It is fairly fast and is reliable and I do not regret buying it although I wouldn't have if I had know that it did not include those options.

    I love it. Accomplish digital tasks with this Dell Inspiron tower desktop. It operates smoothly on Windows 10 thanks to its Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, and its 1TB of storage provides ample space for storing files. This Dell Inspiron tower desktop has memory and PCIe slots for RAM and storage upgrades

    For the money this unit is awesome, it is a good size and powerful enough for casual to moderate use. If you want to do video editing etc I would go for an i5, but for simple use this is good.
