    Reliable Dell Desktops

    With the necessity to update from an 18 years old Dell Dimensions 8400, and after market research, the Dell XPS 8950 is the answer for an upgrade. The heavy weight, quality, and appearance is what I've been accustom. The processor and memory is adequate for my needs. It is quiet. I like Edge and Windows 11. The price is fair and delivered to my home in two days! The setup is quick and easy. Extremely happy with this purchase!!!

    This desktop is silent and fast. I also like the fact that it’s expandable. Delivery was on time. Did have some trouble transfering data from my old computer.

    This is a very good computer at a great price point. I have been using it for a few weeks and have not had any issues. It is so quite that sometimes I wonder if it is on. Delivery was faster than promised, even with the ice storms that were going on. I will update if anything changes with the computer.

    Purchased this unit to replace an older Dell computer and I'm very pleased with the overall quality you come to expect from Dell. It's very fast with ample Ram and storage for my needs. I'm very happy with the overall quality that I highly recommend it.

    So far so good. I use it for stocks so have multiple screens and it works well With the screens and data. I also like the problem free wireless internet connection. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse with it as well. Also bought it when it was $200 off which was also nice.

    exactly what you expect from the XPS line, this one's not flashy but it isn't on display anyway. Performance completely blows my 4 year old desktop away, super-satisfied.

    This box met my expectations for performance and migrating from my old Acer desktop was relatively smooth using Zinstaller. Unfortunately, I can't get the card reader to work. When I pay $1200 for a computer, I expect everything to function.

    For the price it should have had 32 GB of ram but i was easily able to pop in an additional 16 to bring it up to 32 for like an extra $50 bucks. Other than that its a quality machine.

    The Dell-XPS 8950 Desktop model was top rated. My previous Dell lasted 14 years and is the brand widely used at the university. The desktop is fast and a workhorse with my three monitor display. The Geek Squad was amazing and transferred my data so my new Dell was fully functional. Very pleased and confident with this purchase.

    This is a solid PC that my Wife uses for finances and project work. Dell has the best way to do updates vs. other PC manufacturers with their SupportAssist app.
