    This is not a gaming setup nor does it lend itself for demanding graphics games or applications. However, I needed something for home use to organize pictures, internet and homework. This works very well for my purposes and was a great price

    Same old thing....Microsoft "updated" the OS by dropping some features, hustling MacAffee and offering no replacements for the features on my older version of Windows that are now missing. Wouldn't they at least offer to sell some software equivalent to "Windows Picture Editor" which was dropped by Office?

    The computer serves my needs very well, except it will not allow my printer to print in color wireless, it has to be hooked to computer with a cable, also will not print color off of the internet. Must copy to computer then print to get color.

    My only complaint is the bloatware loaded on here, and I wish I could stop all of the pop ups. Dell says it's their partnership, and it can be frustrating. It would be a five star without the bloatware and a little bit different interface.

      kc1230,

      We're glad to see that for the most part you're happy with the performance of your new Dell desktop. If you need help removing any programs that came installed on your computer, you can follow these steps:

      Uninstalling or removing software or applications that you do not use or do not need from your PC can help speed up your PC. Applications may include background processes, system services, context menu entries and other things that can slow down your PC.

      Uninstall applications you no longer need using Programs and Features (previously called Add/Remove Programs). Unnecessary applications occupy space on your hard disk drive.

      1. Press the Windows logo key + R on the keyboard.
      2. In the Run dialog box, type appwiz.cpl and press the Enter key.
      3. In the list, select a program and click Uninstall.

    I’m still learning the new software for Word and the other programs. Very different from the previous versions. I haven’t used the computer much to this point, as I use my phone a lot, but I’m enjoying the big monitor and the computer in general. It’s nice to have a brand new one after all these years.

    Although this computer is faster than my 10 year old computer, it is still a bit slower than expected. It does work fine for home needs. Had a problem about 2 weeks ago, the computer would not start up and had to unplug and re-plug to get to it to work. The computer is only about 3 months old.

    Had purchased a lower priced boombox that worked for one day. The next time I tried to use it the mechanism would not turn on. Returned it to Best Buy and they could not make it work. Turned it in and ordered an upgrade--just received it and have listened to it today--seems to work well.

    I needed to replace an old computer and this one looked like it would serve my purposes. I was told it would been shipped over four weeks later, but received it within ten days. Now that I have it, it does what I need it to do.

    I purchase this just for simple home used to keep up with my network and its working good right now. I wish it would have come with 16gb memory but I guess this is a low end PC. I would give it a 5 star rating among PC's in the same category.

    Yeah, this wasn't great. I still have it, but the HD was replaced. Now it works fine. Could have been a design flaw, could have been user error, could be that I got a lemon. Who knows?

    Got unexpected crash (though it had good error handling mechanism by showing the issue and asked to reboot) three times within the first 20 days. Hard drive is noisier than other ones I have used. It was always doing something in the background. You could hear the hard disk is being read. Also, no speaker with this one, found out later.

      Scott,

      We're sorry to hear about the crashes that you've experienced with your computer. We're glad that you've figured out how to diagnose and resolve the crashes. If you'd like to have less noise from your desktop we'd recommend trying to update the BIOS on your computer:

      An out-of-date BIOS can cause loud fan noises by having an outdated temperature table for the system. Refer to update BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS on your computer.

      You can also follow up with our Technical Support Team here - 1-800-624-9896.

    I purchased the Intel Core i3 to be used as a second back up computer for my small home business. It's not a high speed processor but it works well for my needs. If you are viewing videos and playing games you would probably want a faster processor.

    Entry level PC for my mother. It's running smoothly but I feel like it's kind of overpriced for what you get. DVD drive is very rickety, due to the slim design, will probably be the first thing to break. Like the old laptop drives.
