    Nice to have a DVD player. The tower is very light weight. But it is VERY SLOW. Painfully slow. Can't believe it slow. For example You click facebook to open it, wait wait, wait then it opens. You try to scroll and there is lag, lag, lag. It finally moves and you try to click comment and it lags, lags, lags before you type. I am not a gamer. This is just simple surfing the internet. It has the old style HDD (hard disk drive). Unless you are a patient person spend the extta money and find a more modern technology such as SSD (solid state drive) machine.

      Hello Valued Customer,

      We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have come across some troubles with your Inspiron Desktop because its DVD drive is not working.
      To resolve this issue, I have provided a link to troubleshoot the DVD drive:

      How to Troubleshoot CD, DVD or Blu-Ray Drive Problems: https://dell.to/35DL7Pz

      Before following the troubleshooting steps using the links above, please ensure that multiple discs do not work in the optical drive. If only one CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disk is causing a problem, it is an issue with the disc and not the drive.
      Run the optical drive hardware diagnostic test here: https://dell.to/3BXF18w

      If the issue with the DVD drive is still not resolved after utilizing the troubleshooting options above, please contact the Dell Support Team at 1-800-624-9896 for further guidance.

    Inspiron Desktop - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 1TB HDD is a pretty good web browsing pc. Not enough memory and speed, but you can upgrade it a bit. I paired it with a decent monitor, and it's in my guest room and an effortless setup. And at a reasonable price makes a good pc for any home. Gamers will not like this one though. Give this one a shot.

    My previous Dell system failed after 10 years. System wouldnt recognize keyboard or mouse. Without hesitation i purchased a new system...it was the last one on the shelf. Needed for work. After 35 days system failed. Dell replaced mother board. System continued to lmip along two weeks later and now it is just a paper weight. It wont boot up. Dell washed their hands and declared they couldnt help. A waste of time and money for this OS and system.
