Works as expected. No issues. Fast. I added a 250 gb ssd and it is quick. The RX 560 is good enough for high settings gaming. i7 is over kill for what I do, but it was on sale. i5 computers are plenty fast unless you do a lot of video editing and rendering. Case will hold 3 hard drives, there are a total of 4 sata ports inside. 1 for cd drive, 3 for hard drives. Case has standard size power supply so replacement should be easy if u want to upgrade to high end video card. If i replace power supply, get one with short cables, case is compact and no need for long cables. The usb c plug is in back, I wish it was in front, no big deal, I can run an extension hub if i need to in the future. There is 2 free memory slots if u want to add more memory. Again, that would only be necessary for intense memory programs. Computer is quiet. I am happy. Regular price of 1049.00 is too much in my opinion, but I bought it for 775.00 on sale open box. So if you can, wait for a sale. Oh, there is a M.2 slot, have not installed anything in it, but its there.

Dell XPS 8920 Desktop

More than satisfied with this computer from Dell. The unit came with the Intel Core I7 processor and 16 GB of Ram which can handle anything I can throw at it. Also came with a AMD Radeon RX 560 graphics card which more than supports what I would use it for.
I did open the case and proceed to add 2 more older hard drives. The unit came with a 1TB hard drive and the 2 extra internal hard drives gave me another 1.75 TB of memory for storing my pictures, music and digital DVDs.
The unit also comes with lots of USB 3.0 ports - 4 in the front for easy access and 3 in the back. For future use, the unit also came with one USB 3.1 Type C and one USB 3.1 Type A ports.
So far the unit has met all my expectations. The unit is also quiet. I also went to the Dell support site and stress tested the unit with their test applications - everything passed.
This is a great computer for a person like myself who likes to collect family photos, music and digitize my store bought DVDs. In addition, I need lots of memory for my genealogy research which requires digital clippings, PDFs, maps and of course more pictures.

This is my third XPS computer in 15 years. The first was powerful but had very noisy fans, my wife who shared my office said it sounded like a plane warming up for takeoff. The second XPS was quiet, but this third iteration seems to be edging back up in noise level though not anywhere near as annoying or loud as the first.
I use the XPS computer for two main tasks: Photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop. Managing online marketing using platforms like AdWords and Analytics. This model is easily up to the task in either case. Web platforms load quickly and photos transfer between programs at an acceptable speed.
I would recommend 32 GB of memory as an upgrade, and the AMD Radeon RX560 video card is about the minimum usable for the Adobe products. Photoshop working on layered files needs lots of RAM, and Lightroom is heavily dependent on video GPU / video memory for processing speed. While the RX560 meets or exceeds Adobe's suggested video memory requirements, the card seems to under perform compared to the NVIDIA card I added to the previous computer.
I would recommend the XPS series for nearly anyone, but I suggest that the off the shelf models can be improved with more memory and better video cards over time.
If I had one wish it would be that Dell pick a RAM memory type and stick with it. I've purchased memory upgrades for my two previous XPS computers, and none of the previous sticks will fit into the next model computer. I know, memory technology improves over time too, but it's still aggravating to have 64GB of unusable memory sticks just laying around while this new computer is starved for more GB's.

Highly recommend this computer. Video card is a little old, but the chip and board are state of the art. I installed a little more RAM and a SSD (easy enough to do, including moving the operating system to the SSD) saving some money and building something that will last for many years of home and professional use.

This computer has so many features that I wanted in a computer, at a reasonable price! My son offered to build me a computer with what I needed, but when I found this, at about the same price, and ready to go, I jumped at it! It has lots of USB 3 ports (8), one 3.1 port, and two 2.0 ports, so that I can plug in all my external drives that I store my pictures on, printers, mouse and keyboard, plus have extra ports!. Four of the ports are in front, which makes for easy access to changing what goes into those. I also like the 16G of memory which makes working with Photoshop and Lightroom go very fast, even if I have other programs open. The design is sleek and simple. I replaced the video card because I needed one that worked with all the Photoshop functions, and it was very easy to open the box, use the swing out power supply to access the card and replace it. So far I am very happy and impressed with this Dell XPS.

The computer is fast and very quiet. Start ups and restarts are so fast compared to my old computer. With the amount of RAM installed, there is no lag. I have not seen any thrashing or boot problems. Great choice

I was searching for a computer that could efficiently run the AUTOCAD suite and Microsoft Office. I can truly say the Dell XPS with the intel core i7 processor has more than been up to the challenge. I am running a demanding program like the AUTOCAD suite and Microsoft Office without sacrificing any speed or quality. I am incredibly impressed with this computer and highly recommend it for users who may have similar needs for performance.

My goal in a new desktop was it has to be as fast as possible, quiet as possible, decent non-internal graphics (I'm not a gamer) that could be upgraded later, and be easy to maintain should the need arise. After scouring the web and local stores, this PC seemed to fit all my requirements better than any other in a similar price range. Bottom line: this PC exceeded my expectations. It is so quiet I do not even know it is turned on. I usually build my own PCs and this is the first time in 30+ years that I have finally selected an off-the-shelf PC. Am I ever glad I did. The internal engineering is a marvel to behold.
If looking for a great desktop replacement, this is the one.

...power supply is a little low for an XPS with a 7th gen i7.
All the specs are great, and video card is more that adequate, but if the XPS series is "built" to allow for upgrades, why not just use a larger PS to begin with? Could use an extra HDMI port also (it only has 1), but there aren't many machines in this price range (i.e., what I paid for it) that do. My current XPS lasted 6 years before starting to slow down, I hope I get similar longevity from this one. We'll see...

I have had this computer for several years now and it has shown no drop in performance or had the need for repairs. I run this PC 24/7 and utilize it for new gaming titles such as CoD: Warzone. I run it at 60 FPS without any problems. The computer is also easily upgradeable with a stock power supply capable of handling a video card upgrade right out of the box, to make it VR capable.

I needed a replacement desktop for my software business use. After hours of research, both on-line and in-store, I settled on this Dell as the best value for my time and money and walked out of the store with it in hand. Powerful and ease to set up out of the box, I also found that it was well designed for extensibility - I added an on-board SSD, another HDD, and a few other items with no problems at all. Flawless performance and flexibilty at a great price.
