    I wish I had bought a bigger hard drive. I am constantly taking off my photos and videos to external hard drives because they are taking up too much space. I'd return it but I already have too much on it. Also, it seems there are updates at least once a week. Why is that?

    this is my second Dell XPS and so far I'm well pleased. Dell seems to require less driver updating, etc at the initial purchase and it appears that Windows 11 will be a good choice.

    I am overall very satisfied with my purchase. However this Dell computer could have come with better information regarding the hookup and software details included and not included.

    Not happy with mine. It will randomly cut off when I am in the middle of task and say it has a problem. Then a screen comes up saying no hard drive recognized. I have had these issues from the beginning of my purchase but it only happened a couple of times to start out. Now, it is happening frequently. Not sure what to do.

    It is a good PC, but if it had one 16GB memory stick (like the specs say it does), instead of the two 8GB memory sticks it has it, would be easier and cheaper to upgrade.

    I used to like Dell XPS, but I returned this because could not make a recovery USB drive. I contacted Dell, and did not help. Now, I'm back with HP and paid with the same amount, but better Memory and Graphic card. Only 16GB of RAM, not enough and very loud fan.

    Window 11 OS gave me some problems with compatibility drivers that worked on windows 10. This obviously was not a Dell problem but something Microsoft needs to work on.
