    After MANY tears of using a Dell I stayed with this company and the provider for a great product and service. Thanks so much in these trying times.

    I was very happy to have a machine that was up to date and would no longer have techs tell me that I would have to update to get the proper service.

    Geek Squad-not worth the money upfront.I thought that I would save the time to set up the new computer and data transfer.For various reasons, I spent over 4 hours transferring data from my old computer.;

    We aren't big gamers, but watch Youtube on it, pay bills, letters, etc. Learning Windows 10 is a little curve but getting the hang of it.

    Just a little more than one month of use, and no specific problems to date. As I've learned however, it's only after a year or more when one can pass judgement on a new computer.

    Good computer except for 2 problems

    When the computer is running it works very well. The problems are that for some reason sometimes the computer just will not boot up. When you push the start button if the light on the front panel blinks white the computer starts up quickly. When you push the start button and the computer blinks orange you know it is not going to start, it seems to be caught in a cycle that will continue for hours without the computer booting. You will have to unplug the computer and then plug it in in again. Then hope the next time you push the start button it will boot. Sometimes you have to do this for 20 or 30 minutes before it will boot up. The second problem is Dell's tech support when calling tech support you will have to wait a long time before you get to a tech rep and then you will have a very difficult time understanding them. I have tried twice, wasted a lot of time on hold and then cannot understand what they are saying. I will have to take the computer to a computer repair service and pay a lot of money to get a one month old computer repaired. I doubt that I would ever purchase another Dell computer.

      werich44,

      Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear about the problems that you're having when you try to start your computer. We'd recommend the following tips if this happens in the future:

      1. If the computer is displaying the Dell logo and does not move past that point, it has probably failed POST.
      2. If the power indicator lights up and it is amber or orange, this is usually an indicator that it has failed POST.
      3. If you see text on a black screen, the computer is currently performing the POST. If the computer stays in that condition and does not move past it, it has probably failed POST.
      4. If the video screen displayed anything at all during the startup process but is now black, this probably indicates that the computer failed POST.
      5. If the computer is beeping or if Caps/Num/Scroll Locks are flashing, note if there is a particular pattern in which it beeps or flashes.
      6. If the computer is not beeping and caps/num/scroll locks are not flashing, unplug all connections and remove all media communication devices (e.g. external monitors); reconnect one at a time and check if the computer functions.
      7. For a notebook, press and hold the Fn key and then press the power button. This starts the pre-boot testing and will launch ePSA. In case you have a Desktop at the Dell logo screen tap the F12 key to enter One Time Boot Menu and use the arrow keys to highlight Diagnostics and press enter.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2uj1Sby.

      You'll also want to check to make sure that everything is up to date on your computer. You can check the drivers and software here: https://dell.to/2LBc0Up.

      Best,
      Bryan

    I wanted a desktop for basic computing and this does just that. I'm sure it is capable of doing much more. I am very happy with my purchase.
