    Good computer as an upgrade from Windows 7 was needed. Just wish it had an SD card reader there is a slot for it but it is closed. Always had good luck with Dell computers and they seem to last a long time.

    Good For Very Basic Use

    While I'm kind of smitten with this desktop, I'm struggling to figure out it's best use case. I really like the form factor. This is a perfect size for a desktop, big enough to make working with it easy but not overpowering. I also love that it still has an optical drive, although it's a desktop style that snaps open and has to be pushed closed manually. I like to rip CDs to FLAC files and one that opens and closes on its own is faster for this purpose. This is a very basic machine. It comes with 8GB of memory and a 1TB spinning hard drive. I've become spoiled with having the OS on a SSD over the past few years. This machine takes quite a while to boot up and is laggy for a moment once it starts up while the OS settles down. This is especially noticeable on the first start-up while software is installed and updates are applied. Once booted up response is good while doing things like web surfing and working with office applications. While the core i3 is good for basic computing, I would not recommend this machine for tasks like video or photo editing without some upgrades. Also, it comes with an Intel UHD integrated graphics card, so any idea of gaming should not be entertained. The integrated video is also not able to drive my Samsung G9 Neo at its native 5120x1440 resolution. Inside is the 1TB hard drive, and there is an empty slot for an M.2 card. I had a spare M.2 SSD sitting around, so I installed it and transferred the OS to it, resulting in nearly instant boot times and better responsiveness overall. There is also one open memory slot and an open SATA cable jack although there's no place to add a second hard drive that I was able to see. The motherboard also has an open PCIe slot inside, but the power supply is small and has no power connectors, so there is no way to add another video card unless you can find an older card that gets power directly from the PCI slot. I have an old GTX1050ti with no external power requirement and was able to get it working in this machine. Also included are a basic wired mouse and a nice full size wired keyboard with chiclet keys and a full numberpad. The packaging is very basic; it comes in a brown box with different components inside separate brown boxes inside. I like that it was easy to unpack and was all recyclable inside! Given all of this, It's hard for me to say what this machine is best suited for. It is good for basic office apps and surfing, and for watching Netflix, but anything beyond that are really out of reach for this Dell desktop. With a couple of upgrades (more memory and an SSD) it becomes much more responsive, but it's really only cost-effective to do so if you have some spare parts laying around as I did. Otherwise it may make sense to spend a little more to step up to a more powerful machine.

    My wife loves her new desktop. Well worth the money. It is faster than fast! The 1 TB digital hard drive gives her plenty of space for her thousand of photos and projects. Geek squad did a data transfer from her old box and set up the computer with Office 365, Adobe and Chrome. I could do it but it was so much easier to have it done. Brought it home and plug and play.
