The Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 Desktop is a little powerhouse! Setup is pretty straightforward for new desktop devices these days—you only need an internet connection and a Microsoft email account (Hotmail, Outlook, Live, etc.). Moving on from an older Dell all-in-one touchscreen was simple, as transferring files to the new machine was quick and easy. Once everything was up and running, I tested a few games on Steam. If you’ve seen some of my other reviews, you know I do a lot of gaming on laptops, so I was excited to see how this desktop compared. The performance gap between the two is definitely noticeable. The EBT2250 ran flawlessly, even with several graphically intensive games. Lighting, textures, and all those high and ultra settings looked fantastic, and games ran smoothly locked at 120Hz. Beyond gaming, I also use this desktop for construction and design software. I haven’t encountered any issues running CAD programs or Photoshop—everything performs very well. Overall, this is a fantastic personal computer with plenty of room to upgrade over time. There’s a lot of value and a lot to love in this desktop PC!

Dell did good with this gaming computer. Performance, features and connectivity are all great. I'm mostly a gamer but, sometimes, I also do video edits. The performance of this thing is really good. The processor makes easy work of anything I have thrown at it. I am able to do all my tasks, stream, download, browse the web and more, with ease. No issues with running slow or glitching whatsoever. The more demanding tasks, such as gaming and my edits, are also done with ease. The graphics card combined with the processor make a an excellent gaming experience. I play some pretty demanding triple A games and, ley me tell you, the run super smooth and I am able to pretty much max out the graphics and resolution. First person shooters and wonderfully responsive and RPGs look fantastic. I have this paired with a 32 inch QHD monitor and just wow. My gaming has been step up. I also, use this desktop for my media needs such as movies, tv shows and music. There are a couple things I am not a fan of. One, the style is very bland for a gaming PC. I'd prefer something flashy with lots of RGB lighting. Second, is the AI abilities. For me, the AI is useless for what I use this PC for but I do feel it has future potential. Overall, this PC is a great machine, especially when paired with good accessories.

While this looks like an unassuming work PC, inside contains a beast. No, it’s not going to be pumping out native 4k 60fps on extremely intensive games like Battlefield 6 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. But if you’re doing 1080p or even 1440p gaming with these intense games, you’re going to have a great time. Even with slightly less demanding games like Skate, I was hitting 80fps avg at 4k 240hz High settings. I am greatly impressed and think if you are a gamer on a low to mid-sized budget and are wanting a system that can be pushed a little further than great 1080p gaming, this is the one for you! Temps are staying low across the board when gaming for longer periods of time or playing more intensive games. Even when playing Clair Obscure at 1440p High settings, fans stayed quiet and temps looked great staying well within the acceptable range. This was especially true when I set the PC to Dell Ultra Performance in the Dell app. See below for a more detailed breakdown of the data. Gameplay Stats (Dell Ultra Performance): Clair Obscur 1440p 240hz High Settings FG: 116fps, 60fps avg CPU: 40% GPU: 97% 68c RAM: 16/32GB used 4K 240hz High: 86FG, 42FPS avg Skate.

If you’re going to be doing any serious gaming, or even general productivity, you’re going to immediately recycle those (at your local Best Buy). The bloatware is better than the old days of Dell computers but it’s still pretty prevalent unfortunately. Especially with the forced McAfee security software installation on initial setup. Those are small hiccups to a fantastic PC. And for someone like me who finds traditional gaming hardware design gauche and annoying, the simplicity of the case is appreciated. Paired with the performance under the hood, you have a fantastic option if this is your budget.

This desktop computer is ok but could of been better. The reason why I docked it 2 stars is because it's 2025 going into 2026 and Dell is still cheaping out and only including 1 stick of memory. Granted it's 32GB and there's a slot for one more so that's nice but should of done 2x16 GB sticks of memory if they wanted to add 32GB for this model. Otherwise this computer is fine for what it is. A workstation pre built machine. Yes you can make it cheaper but for a lot of people they rather have it built and for some rather have a warranty for the machine and get it fixed that way instead of figuring out what's wrong with it. Specs: Intel core ultra 7 265 32GB single channel RAM 1TB SSD Nividia 5060 8GB VRAM That being said this machine is made for professional use not gaming but it does have a 5060 in it and for 1080P gaming this computer is decent. The 8GB of VRAM will be your limiting factor. But as I said it's not for gaming and primarily is for stuff like photo editing and video editing to name some use cases and from my unprofessional use of photo shop it did it fine
