    This desktop computer is really quite fast. It's a little bit smaller than previous models but i see no drawbacks there. The only negative thing i have to say about this computer is that the CD tray is totally different than what i am used to. The CD has to be clipped in properly for it to work.

    An enormous step up from my 11 yr. old Dell Inspiron 537S (w/4GB RAM). It's incredibly fast and incredibly easy to learn, even for a 70-yr. old like me! And, I'm delighted to find that Windows 10 is better than it was in the early days!

    What happened to the power cords?

    The machine is fast and does not take a lot of desk space leaving plenty of room for me to work. I do have one question? Is it now customary for Dell computers to arrive without the power cords? This is the second machine that had absolutely no power cords included in the packaging. I even had to use my iPhone to access the online manual to set up the computer.

    I recently set up an office at home and wanted a good computer that was versatile and could function for all my needs. This seems to have fit the bill. It boots up quickly and has some far handled all my computing needs. Appears very well built and should last many years.

    Fast boot up and shut down. Solid state drive is vast improvement over older SATA drives. I Easily upgraded it to 32 Gb of ram. My only complaint is technical support and customer service. I always seem to get someone that is on the other side of the world and I have a hard time understanding them. Some things also get lost in translation. It would be nice to speak with someone in Texas. Isn’t that where this company is based?

    Well made system. It starts up really fast and initial installation is smooth. Dell’s XPS has a better design and uses better materials. If you are looking for a system that is reliable and can last long, XPS is the choice.

    I needed to upgrade my five year old Dell XPS and 8940 was in stock at Best Buy. It had all the video connections to hook up three monitors and the SSD is very fast. I have it for several months, as I use it to teach Zoom college classes. I've had no problems and I'm very happy with my purchase. My only thought, was I wish it had a bigger SSD (512) but I'm not a gamer, so it hasn't been an issue so far.

    Time to get another computer. Nothing wrong with my current Dell XPS except it was getting outdated. So what did I do? Bought another Dell XPS. Works great. Has all the updated components.

    Not good for Lightroom or Photoshop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this for my my photography business and it's really slow while using Lightroom and Photoshop. I called and checked with Best Buy support and was advised this would be a good computer monitor. It cost me about $1,800 just so it wouldn't be a good match. It just went out on me yesterday and will need to check out why.
