    Setup on this unit was trouble free & straightforward, other than the usual Windows updating. The keyboard/mouse is a throwaway, no surprise there, they'll be soon replaced with Logitech units. The case is mid size, sleek, good looking, with a lack of crevices, so an occasional swipe with a cloth should keep it dust free. With 12GB ram & 1TB hard drive, these are more than ample specs for a basic household tasks, web browsing, homework, etc; and it's not going to choke on a steady diet of Office, photo or video editing. My wife does Photoshop, and she remarked at how snappy it was vs. our last unit, an i7 with 8GB. This was connected as a wired unit, so cannot comment on the wireless capabilities. The Bluetooth, however, had no issues connecting to my Android phone, as well as a pair of Bluetooth headphones. And while I was perfectly content with the graphics package, my gaming regimen doesn't include games that require a high frame rate. I do use streaming services, both Netflix & Amazon came through beautifully. Here's what I didn't like. After 2-3 years of service, I get quite uncomfortable living with a single hard drive. I prefer to segregate my personal data & files onto a separate drive so that in the event of a crash, I can system restore the unit and be safely transfer my date to another pc or a backup drive. Yeah, I know all about web storage & backups, but I'm an old school type of person - I want my important things close at hand in something i can see. This is where the Dell fails. Yes, I looked inside. No room or bracketing to install spare drives. Even if you did, there's no spare power splits, and worst of all, proprietary cabling. I hate proprietary cabling! If I need to clone a drive, or add an SSD in a jif, I don't want to be calling Dell, pay a list price plus shipping, and wait for UPS delivery to show up. I either want to go local, or, at worst, get a cable from Amazon the next day - and they work 7 days a week. If you're like me, looking to install a spare drive, or a gamer that wants to install a higher powered video card, then you run up against the power supply. It's just about adequate to run what comes in the box. Finally, there's the issue of the RAM - no spare slots. If you're the type of user that wants solid performance (BTW, should also mention this is a nice quiet box - no fan whirs & groans); and has no interest what's inside the box, this is an excellent choice.

    This computer will be great for most people. It is not a gaming machine as the upgrade ability for the video card is limited by both space and power supply. It has very little bloatware installed. The only thing it needs is a ssd for a boot drive, which it has a port on the motherboard for. Boot up times to me are slow althou everything else rips right along. Graphics are good, having multiple apps open at one time is no problem. Streaming video is smooth even in 4k. The included keyboard and mouse have a positive feel and works well but is corded. Overall this is a great machine for light gamers and home users. It's fast and powerfull.

    Good computer for the money, does what i need it to and then some. Only issue is that it freezes up at random and then i have to restart. it keeps happening more an d more frequently. Missed the warranty period to turn it in by a few days. And, the file manager doesnt work so i have to find other ways to access my files. Kind of bad because i happen to like dell computers and noramally they are workhorses
