    This machine is great for performing all everyday tasks at home. Browsing, office software, basic photo/video editing. It's fast and quiet. And it's a great value if you can find an open box unit in excellent condition. The only reason that we replaced our old Dell machine was to upgrade to Windows 11.

    Affordable, Upgradable & Compact Desktop Solution

    The Dell Inspiron 3030 Small Desktop is a compact PC that features the Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Space-saving design, with built-in Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth capabilities, making it suitable for home or office use. It also supports additional internal hard drive. I was able to add at least two SATA/HDD. However, there's no HDD caddy inside the case. You can either tuck the drives away from the motherboard and fan or buy the caddy separately. RAM is less expensive to upgrade separately. I'm a typical user who doesn't require high performance PC. As long as I can watch videos on the internet; use excel, word and email; and do my taxes, this PC is good enough for me.

    The speed of this Dell is amazing (especially compared to my 15-year-old Dell it's replacing). I read in one of the reviews that the person couldn't connect it to his monitor. I would have had the same problem, except that my circa 2017 monitor (HP) came with two types of cables, and the second one worked with the new Dell. I'm very happy with the computer, as it is my third Dell. I wouldn't buy anything else. And I always buy them at Best Buy!

    This computer is so fast compared to the old one. The old one would freeze all the time. This one lets me listen to videos without slowing to buffer. I can play my Facebook games without the computer freezing to catch up in the background. It has more storage than my old one. It is so easy to use. When I put in my password, it comes right up and ready for use.

    Near excellent when Windows 11 was replaced by Linux Ubuntu. Suggested improvement is to beef up the cd drive. Flimsy, difficult to open, close, and position cd into the drive. Otherwise, fast and powerful system after Windows replacement.

    I'm no computer whiz, but needed a new one to replace my ancient Dell pc. This one fits the bill. It works flawless, so far. I've heard all kinds of stories about Windows 11 issues, so far it's been all good. Just had a bit of a sign in microsoft deal on the initial start up, but the Geek Squad fixed in it about 3 minutes. Now, if I could just find a program to keep my kitten from walking all over my keyboard when I'm trying to get some work done

    Computer is speedy and meets expectations. Have had to call dell support after 2 days would not boot up. No bootable disc available. Suspect problem was windows update. Able to restore computer with dell assist and so far ok. Intend to add more ram. Windows 11 awful. Need to be able to at least create boot disk as in past. Online mot reliable.

    My Mother's old Dell had just turned 10 years old, so we decided on this one as a replacement. It's small and powerful and EXCEEDS her needs. Between her church needs, email, and all her genealogy research it's great.
