Beast!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the last one available at Best Buy. They are completely sold out now. This thing is a beast! I am not a gamer at all, but I wanted something that would be future proof for a long time. I originally configured and ordered one of these straight from dell. However, I got tired of waiting for it to ship, and I saw this at best buy, and jumped on it. I had to drive an hr. to get to the location but it was worth it. This machine has an unlocked 12th gen i7 processor 12700k. My old computer was a 6th gen i7 6700. I don't do gaming or overclocking, but I think this i7 still has a little better specs than the regular 12th gen i7. This chip is blazing fast! I'm sure this pc is overkill for my needs, but what the heck, you only live once.

FAST AS LIGHTENING
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I RETURNED THE 1ST XPS I PURCHASED, BECAUSE IT KEPT TURNING OFF. I EXCHANGED IT FOR ANOTHER AND THIS ONE IS WORKING VERY WELL. IT IS SO MUCH FASTER THAN MY 12 YEAR OLD GATEWAY. I REALLY CAN'T COMPLAIN, BECAUSE IT DID SEERVE ME VERY WELL OVER THER YEARS. HOWEVER, IT IS GREAT TO HAVE A SPEEDY COMPUTER AGAIN.

Poor quality control and inefficient Geek-Squad.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product came with a defective 1 TB hard-drive. The rear speaker audio output did not work. I had to take the unit 4 times before all the problems were rectified. The Best-Buy Geek Squad gave me a lot of run-around and did not recognize the audio-output problem the first two times.
