Easy to set up; nice chance to start keeping a "cleaner" desktop and not be so junky. Loads and runs faster than my previous pc. I like Dell, and this one is running really well right out of the box. I also added a fingerprint reader to get better security and speed up access.

bought this a a birthday present, kicking out the i3-3770. great speed, boots almost instantly. I wanted one with a DVD drive, very scarce nowadays. Also was looking forward to putting in a 3060 GPU, but as the photos show, no dongle for it, and underpowered too. Appears PSU is custom job as well, and only 2 memory slots (but with 5600MT DDR5, who cares). Went with a 1060OC and works fine. Just wish it was a bit more customizable

I am old school and a laptop just isn't going to do it for me. I don't need all the latest features, but having sufficient memory for me to conduct my home business on a desktop computer is important, and this tower computer delivered. I am happy with the way it has been performing with Microsoft Word and my other applications. The one issue that came up for me is that I was unfamiliar with the additional port for a second screen. I used the HDMI port for the first monitor, but I learned that I needed an HDMI adapter for the second monitor. Thanks to Geek Squad, I was able to locate what I needed, and I have no complaints. Quality investment!

Replced my old HP computer and this one It is very quiet and much faster than my old one. Easy to set up and worth the investment because it saves me time. Windows 11 loads in seconds and I can browse the internet much faster.

Tower shipped in stated timeline and in good condition. Tower had all the ports as advertised. Good price compared to other retailers. On start-up Windows ran fine but Dell preloads a ton of unnecessary software that i deleted. Time from power up until satisfactory operations took me three hours.

This computer meets my needs for speed and value. It replaces an older and slower 4 year old computer. The 1 terabyte SSD drive is very welcome and has plenty of capacity. The only drawback, at least to a dinosaur like me, is it only has 1 DVD drive and no place for a second one.

Very fast computer! I’m totally impressed by the speed that this computer comes up and processes. Also it runs totally quiet and shuts down easily and quickly when turned off. I buy Dell and this is the best one yet.

I have used Dell for many years without any problems and like their products. Main issue was with Best Buy not moving all the programs and other items from old computer to new one...

Just what I was looking for. This Inspiron desktop with a powerful Intel Corei7 processor makes it ideal for both work and casual gaming. The 16GB memory is adequate for most tasks and the 1TB SSD makes it reliable and affordable desktop. I am rating it 9 out of 10, and I'll definitely recommend it to my friends.

Very quiet and quite powerful. I bought this i7 machine to avoid the premium price of the i9 models. I'm not a games, so the i9 would be overkill. Very pleased with it so far.

We decided on a tower and monitor, rather than an all-in-one which we had before. Customer service is great at Best Buy, but they should have mentioned that the monitor doesn't have a camera or speaker, meaning those items will have to be purchased separately. The Dell Inspiron Desktop Processor is great. Fast, reliable.

So far my new Dell 3030 i-7 is a wonderful upgrade, speed is impressive for office work, internet, etc (I'm not a gamer) tiny foot print, compared to i-3 it replaced. Highest recommend--DOESN'T have speakers in tower, an unfortunate surprise (costing another $100). I got it open box (excellent condition saving 20%)

The tactics your salesman used and the stuff he sold to me weren’t what I wanted. I’m so disappointed in Bestbuy tactics to push you away from the computer system I needed and selling monitors that had to be sent back! I was under time constraints that I couldn’t meet.
