Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for window 11 conversion. So far I'm happy with everything. Still learning! Found a price match on Amazon for $1159 but best buy would not honor it due to item offered thru 3rd party. So I rated value lower

Love this Dell tower, very fast, everything I wanted and more.

Good value, quality computer, quick shipping. Use for photo editing.

so far doing really well. runs very quiet and cool.

Works great works great and the performance is excellent

The Best Buy team helped me decide the best new computer for my needs and then they moved everything from my old computer to the new one!!!

Excellent performance! My mother works from home, so this worked out as a great gift for her.

I've only had it for a week, but no negatives just yet. Out of the box easy to set up and get going. It is also a little smaller than my old Dell in height, but about the same width. The only thing I really need the graphics card for playing Fortnite with my son, but my family is a little jealous.

Very nice all around computer fior everday tasks and multitasking

Works perfectly.The set up was smooth and easy. No issues to report.

WOW super fast performance in a retail / service application. When it comes to power & performance its DELL the HEMI of the computer world.....

great dell product,setup easy, wish it had optical drive

Easy to set up. Easy to transfer files. My only negative is no dvd

Good computer and a good value. It is similar to others, but the standout feature is expandability which is much better than the rest.

Machine is packed with features and very responsive. Long time Dell customer.

The new computer, was set up and returned ahead of schedule. They was able to transfer my data to my new unit. The Geek Squad, was outstanding.

Great product. Lots of power to do anything in the scheme of things

Windows 11 does not appear to be compatible with any of the software I use regularly.

I have really been enjoying the Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 Desktop over the course of the last few weeks. Typically I have used a gaming laptop with a monitor between normal workflow, content viewing and gaming. Through the last few weeks, I think I am going to replace the laptop with this desktop. While the size of the desktop is mid range it is tall and long (kind of reminds me of the size of a desktop from a decade ago...but that really is not a bad thing. It has an incredible amount of ports, which is actually fantastic, especially since this computer targets powerhouse users. The desktop is also incredibly quiet and fast. while doing my normal work flow, I was able to run reports substantially faster then my laptop and the fans never kicked on (if they did then I did not hear them). Playing video games on this thing is virtually the same as they ran flawlessly. The only thing I would say for gaming is I wish they changed the GPU with a 5070 or 5080, even if that meant increasing the price. While the GPU handles games well the remaining specs (Core Ultra 7 and 32GB of RAM) are practically begging to be pushed to the limits and I think certain graphically intense games may be missed out). Frankly, in my opinion this desktop is worth the price of admission, but, there is one thing that is very disappointing....charging $1,500 is not an abnormal ask for high end computers, including a mouse and keyboard is also something that not everyone does (thinking of a major competitor to dell)...but including very cheap non bluetooth keyboards and mouse is disappointing. I have to recommend this to anyone in need of a really good computer. It certainly is a well made product.

SUMMARY: The Dell - Tower Plus EBT2250 is a good, bordering on strong, versatile performer in the worlds of gaming, creativity, AI, 3-D rendering, and yes, work. It straddles these categories with a great CPU (Intel Core 7 Series 2), a good discrete graphics board (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060), and a decent amount of RAM (32 GB) and SSD storage (1TB). With ‘professional’ styling and only 8 GB video ram, it’s a ‘work’ computer that you can relax with reasonable game play (at 1080p). PROs: - Built for speed, fast CPU, decent GPU, fast RAM, fast SSD, and fast WIFI. - A Full 1 TB of quick SSD primary storage and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM. - Upgradable ram and storage with toolless entry. - Quiet, cool performance. - Easy to set up - Boots fast CONs: - Power supply limited to current GPU requirements (and hard to change). A MATTER OF TASTE: - Boring utilitarian styling. If grey steel boxes with harsh edges is your thing, you will love it. This is charitably called ‘traditional’ styling and the best that can be said is it fits well in a work environment. - Ports on the front, but only one is USB-C. - An 8 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 video card plays most games well at medium to high settings at 1080 p but struggles at higher resolutions. - 32 GB of ram is the sweet spot for most, but in the Dell - Tower Plus EBT2250 it is provided as a single Ram stick (with two slots available). On the plus side it’s easy (and cheaper) to upgrade to the maximum 64 GB with the addition of another compatible 32 GB stick. The negative side is you won’t get the full speed advantage unless you populate both slots, almost pushing you to the upgrade. - 10 USB-A ports and 2 USB-C ports. Who uses so many USB-A ports these days with many devices being wireless or if high speed external drives, USB-C ports. - Basic USB-A wired keyboard and mouse. Personally, I am fine with this, it’s not my first PC so why pay more for something better? But some may think it’s cheap (because it is.) - The price borders on being high, I would look for a sale. I say this only because of the graphics board and relatively small power supply being a limit. But I do like the 32 Gb RAM and 1 TB SSD storage. ABOUT STORAGE: The 1TB of storage is a gen 4 NVME card, which is reasonably fast and enough space for most applications and games. But for those that want more there is an additional empty gen 4 NVME slot and space and cables for two standard 3.5in hard drives. So feel free to go wild with video storage for your own personal video server. WHO IS THIS FOR? I’m a casual gamer, a passionate photographer (with a real camera even), an AI dabbler (future is coming), and yes, a scientist with a need to do excel. A good general-purpose computer like the Dell - Tower Plus EBT2250 works fine for me. It handles my Lightroom and Photoshop needs well (at 4k), plays like a mid-tier gaming machine (i.e. okay at 1080p), and of course handles the Microsoft suite fine. But you know what they say about Jack of All Trades… master of none. This is NOT a top tier gaming machine (even ignoring the boring styling) nor can it easily be upgraded to one. The power supply just can’t reliably support a more powerful graphics board, nor can the non-standard power supply be swapped out. Likewise, if you have made the transition from USB-A style plugs to USB-C, you will be disappointed with only two (40 Gbps and 10 Gbps) USB-C ports. And the majority of the USB-A style are 5 Gbps or lower speed (9 out of 10). Who uses 10 USB-A ports these days? That was okay 5 years ago, these days I want 40 Gbps for my high-speed thunderbolt 4 drives for my photo and video collections. What I will say is the ports are well-placed for maximum flexibility between the front and back. If you want a flexible computer that performs well as your daily driver, check out the Dell - Tower Plus EBT2250.
