    I got this computer to replace a Windows 10 desktop that needed work. I found it to be exactly what I needed: plenty of muscle, very easy to work on, compact form factor, quiet, with nothing missing.

    A Power Packed Computer...

    I love using this new computer... I upgraded from the Dell 8700; I simply maxed it out. 32GB ram, hard drives, the whole bit. However, as a Digital Artist, and Graphic Designer, I needed more power. The 8910, is Fast, and I made it even more powerful, this system supports 64GB of DDR4 ram! I added a one TB in SSD, and a 3TB Boot drive, plus a 2TB External drive, and a 4TB external drive, all USB 3.0. My workflow is three times as fast; It is just a great computer. I do not Game, but I run very demanding Programs that use a lot of system resourses. Don't get me wrong the switch was a full two-week adventure, but well worth it.

    This gaming system looks good and plays most games. The processor and 16 GB memory are very adequate. It runs games such as Bioshock Infinite fine. However when playing DOOM the video went to only 2 or 3 fps. Where the system lacks is with the 2GB GPU. I added an 8 GB Nvidia GTX 1070 and the performance is wonderful. The card is huge but still fit. I added an 850 Watt power supply to cover the extra power needed to meet the larger power requirements of the video card. I bought both at Best Buy. There was just enough room for the much larger card and took some time to install the PSU as I had to adapt the power cord to the DVD. The connector was not included with the EVGA PSU I purchased.

    My old hard drive was about to crash and in a panic I sought the Geek Squad for help. Unfortunately it was determined I needed a new hard drive. Did not have an opportunity to read any product reviews before making this purchase. This hard drive was just what we needed. It is awesome. The design is sleek and the silver looks very attractive in my office. It is very fast and has more than enough storage capacity to handle the large volume of photos I've amassed so far.

    After checking reviews on desktops, I selected the Dell XPS. I received a free data transfer from my old desktop and also purchased the 1 yr Geek all tech support at a discount. It's only been a few weeks, but everything is working great! Computer very fast and quiet. I used Geek Squad to help figure out problem with IPad and Smart phone when suddenly I was unable to send emails. Geek Squad figured out problem and saved me a lot of frustration!

    I've had pretty good luck with Dell machines in the past, and this one is no exception. Worked right out of the box, handles the games and programs I use flawlessly, and is relatively quiet, even when I'm running something more demanding. About the only complaint I have is the keyboard - it works well enough, but it's a 'chiclet' style setup. I would have preferred a more standard keyboard, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker.

    Had been a loyal HP user for many years, but got tired of how noisy they were. (So loud that they could disturb my sleep in the next room.) Read the reviews here for the XPS and decided to give Dell a shot. Overall, I am happy with the XPS. However, based on other people's reviews, I was expecting much faster startup times and performance. This is not to say that the XPS is slow, but I don't feel that it is much faster than my old HP. What I can say is that it is VERY quiet, and I couldn't be happier about that.

    Very wonderful PC! It's got great graphics built in good enough to run csgo or h1z1. Upgrading is nice.. I upgraded graphics card to gtx 1070, and gave myself 16 more gb of ram. The only downside to this PC is that there is no mousepad but they don't cost much more but do buy them before going home with PC and scratching up your stained countertop.

    Easy to set up, thanks to a simple fold-out paper guide & diagram, which many products--aiming to be "paperless" --no longer come with. Upon turning on, there are step-by-step prompts to continue making set-up & going online easy. As easy to use as any PC, & much easier than a Mac, which comes with no paper directions or computer prompts. You do have to buy the monitor separately, but no difficulty setting it up.

    I usually build my own compurer towers but didn't have the time. I needed a pc for music and video production and this fit the bill. Added a ssd and larger secondary drive and have had no problems. A great i7 pc at a very reasonable price. I do wish it had a drive activity light but can live without it.

    Because of the I7, 12GB memory, video card, the computer should be better. It has often hung up when accessing files and a few programs. Otherwise, it is fast when rendering video and other functions, though I haven't tried a spreadsheet yet. Overall it's OK, but not as good as expected.

    I decided to upgrade to a more powerful tower computer after the old Dell Inspiron crashed. Could not be happier. The XPS is fast and quiet. Netgear techs helped configure my network and WiFi and installed a very good internet security program. So far everything is running smoothly.

    Purchased this for a Cyber Monday sale price. I could have spent more money, but I wouldn't have gotten a better machine. Easy set-up (I added an additional HHD that had data that I used in my old, defunct desktop with little problem.). My only complaint is that there is no provided paper manual [other than a very simple "quick start" fold-out]. That was disappointing. Having everything online is nice if you have another way to access the information, but is a real hindrance if don't have that access. Yeah, I know, that saves them 15 cents by not printing one, but it still would be nice to have. I know I can now print the information off online, but after paying their price for the computer, I would think they could at least provide a paper manual. As I said, except for the manual, the computer is very nice. I don't game, so I can't rate that, I do do some photo and video editing, and the operation is smooth and efficient. Well worth the price.
