    This Dell Inspiron Desktop comes as an i3. Which might be a little outdated, but it's great for for every day use. It came with 8GB of memory which is great for most applications. It also has a 1TB HD which is more than enough room to store all of your files, including movies, pictures, music, etc. It's perfect for browsing, most applications, and some light gaming. It's small in size so it doesn't take up that much room.

    Decent PC

    This is a standard PC configuration I choose for our work locations. As a Dell, I know the hardware is common and dependable. I like the bluetooth and wifi wireless options in the event I need them. The Core i3 isn’t the best performing processor, but for the money, it’s quick enough and dependable. I’ve installed about 150 of these over the past 5 years - with the same basic configuration (if with upgraded versions of hardware) and had probably 2-3 die; versus 30%-40% of competing brands in the past.

    My Asus finally took a crap and I was in need of a new box. Did a little surfing on the net and this Dell seemed to fit my needs. Easy set up and after all the updates had been instaled , it has been running like a charm. I am not a gamer, just a surfer, and this fits my needs perfectly. Highly recommend.

    Dell is not the Same Since the Family Sold it

    My old computers hard drive went bad and had to have one immediately. This was the only computer in stock at the time and I had to have something immediately. I had had Dell products in the past and never had issues with them, but that was before the family sold the company. I will say they first year I had this product it was great. Easy to set up and ran well. I work in the computer industry and take care of my products. After that I started having some issues with it. Nothing you could put your finger on, but you could tell the computer was just not the same. Then I updated it one evening and it just wouldn't reboot. Said the hard drive was corrupt. I put in the recovery disk and ran all the diagnostics and it would not fix itself. I went to buy a new hard drive to see if that worked. Nope. Took it back and had to buy a new computer. I have had several people try to work on it and not one person can recover the things off my drive. This computer was Ground Zero of why you should always back up your files in the cloud or on disks. Cloud is much easier and better. I know many I work with in the computer industry that have nothing but problems with this company.

    Due to limited space in my home office this computer is just the right size. 8GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for ALL my photos and videos is perfect. Took a little bit of time to get used to Windows 10 operating system coming from my Windows 7, but only took about 45 minutes for me to understand the in's and out's. The Purchased about 2-1/2 weeks ago and so far I am satisfied with my purchase. The Best Buy Rep who sold me the computer was very good in helping me decide which computer to buy and the Geek Squad person who transferred all my data from old to new computer was great.

    Overall I am very impressed with the specs on this PC given the price point. It was very easy to set up including all my peripherals ie; wireless printer ,Bluetooth speaker etc... I just purchased it but so far I would definitely recommend this as a solid choice for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money but still wants performance and plenty of storage.

    Once I got the system to let me log into my accounts, it was a good fit for me. I lost all my passwords, and had to reinvent them for 29 accounts so far including my banking. Once that was done, I just needed to get used to the new Word Program. With the help of Tech Support, and a lot of making fubars I was able to get this race horse running. I like the new Windows 10, a nice clean system.

    Quick webserver

    We needed to replace a webserver pretty quickly and didn't need anything too highpower. Ran down to BB and grabbed this baby while on sale and it's getting busy like you wouldn't believe. No tests or benchmarks but it's handling its duty as a webserver just fine. We've got another that I've set up as a FreePBX backup. No problems installing it, just had to find a low profile gigabit network card. This was money well spent.

    Nobody told us 25yrs ago that we'd need to 'replace' these relatively expensive 1st world 'necessities' every 3 to 5 years. My 8yr old tower using 'XP' simply became "unsupported" by everything and everyone. Price and components are what did it for me. The compact design I also favored over the more common but obtrusively sized towers.
