    This computer is about as good as one would expect for the price. For my purposes, at this time, the processor is adequate and the memory and disk capacity are both great. Before purchasing I did verify that upgrade processors are available that have a 100% compatibility rating. I do not plan to change the computer in any way at this time, but in a year or so I may upgrade the processor. This is my third Dell computer at home and I enjoy having the commonality of hardware and software. I recently purchased a Dell touch screen monitor so now I can enjoy Windows 10 features even more. Having a Dell computer is like flying an airplane, "You don't want surprises!"

    Needed a new computer to replace our older one. Older computer just wasn't keeping up with new games. I looked at other computers, but it became very clear that any 'more affordable' system I bought would need upgrades right away, and even the processor wouldn't be fast enough for some games. I bought this because it came with the 4th gen Intel i3, and was powerful enough to run the games we play without needing to upgrade right away. So far, we've had no problems. It upgraded to Windows 10 no problem, run very quiet, and runs many programs extremely smoothly. It runs Sims 3 on medium settings just fine. If we upgrade the power and video card it'll run it on high settings. Good bye for us.

    My father is new to the computer world, so I wanted something for him that would not let him be discourage by a slow start up process or websites that wanted to crawl. This computer has been very impressive for the price and the speed it can run. He is very happy with it especially with the new Windows 10 edition. It's more of a setup version to Windows 7 and XP. With the new version and the speed this computer has, it has given my father a new perspective on the computer world.

    I've never bought a Dell but always worked with them at work or school. It fairly quick, and set up was easy. It didn't come installed with Microsoft Home but was able to download the 30 free trial along w/McAfee Anti-Virus protection. It does have a Word program but most of my documents are in Microsoft and it did not covert the documents. So if you must have Microsoft Office or Home be prepared to buy it. Other than that, it's a decent buy.

    This Dell desktop is great, everything the ad said and more. It's fast no hangups and it come with some cool software. I have had my desktop about one month and i have had no problems, was able to load my documents, my favorite programs, photos, music and my favorite games. Best of all this desktop is upgradeable, so I can add more memory, couple more hard drives and a better graphic card later on. And Windows 10 is not that bad, I am learning as I go along. I will let you know how thing are going again in about six months.

    It's big, it's ugly, but it's wonderful. If you care more about performance over looks, this is the one for you. Nothing fancy here, The case is box-plain, but it works great. I do wish it had more USB ports on the front, but there are plenty in the back. The little dip on the top holds my external drives well. Like it!

    This is a really great computer, especially for the price. I looked at some costing 3 and 4 times more, but I chose this one. I do not do any online gaming and stream most movies on other devices. I did not need more power than this one has. It replaced a 5year old computer, so it is much faster and has a lot more ram and a much bigger hard drive.

    The Dell system matches the specs I was looking for in replacing my desktop. Missed getting Windows 8 by a few days and ended up with 10. May be what some folks are looking for, but get me all the way back to 7. I really don't appreciate nerds telling me what they think I need with the programming.

    Sure you can find better, faster computers than this one - but at what price? With Windows 10 already installed this computer is fast enough for almost all applications that a normal person would run. So far (we have it just three months) the computer has worked great! The fact that the computer came with Windows 10 already installed proved a real bonus. Another plus was that on my machine there was not a lot of Bloatware installed - it just had the basics and that is great. So far I can't find a fault with this computer and am glad for the money we saved buying a comparable unit!

    We initially bought a Lenovox and had nothing but trouble. We bought this Dell instead. Very easy to set up. Transitioning from Windows 7 to Windows 10 has been fairly easy too. It seems to fly and load quick. I have owned this desktop for about a month and I am very happy. Great price too.

    This is a great budget desktop. I replaced my wife's old box which was well past due as she just did not want to let go of Windows XP. I hated working on her old system as it was slow and for the money I put out for this one, it was a great buy. I did all of the setup on this unit and it is a snappy desktop for the money.

    I bought this because it was one of the few with Windows 10 preloaded. I had huge frustration with Windows 8, and wanted a computer that had no fragments of it. I have been so pleased with this computer for work. It is fast enough, big enough that I am just as efficient as I was in the old days.

    It's user friendly. Love the faster speed and I have plenty of storage. I did a lot of research online before I narrowed the ones I thought would be most efficient for my needs. Then I went to local,Best Buy store and the sales associate helped me decide on the one for me.

    Dell Inspiron Desktop

    My old computer bit the dust so I ran up to Best Buy and bought this one. It came with Windows 10 installed. Best Buy sales staff was very helpful and I would give them a 5 star rating. As for the computer, as soon as I set it up I tried to make a recovery USB stick as recommended and could not. After poking around the internet it seems like I am not the only one with this problem. Also when I tried to set up my Dell v305 printer more problem with the scan feature. Dell says this printer has not been tested with windows 10 and gives no help. Also more problems trying to run some programs which it seems are not compatible with windows 10. Just a heads up, if you plan on getting this computer or another with Windows 10 be prepared to possibly have to shell out some more bucks to replace incompatible peripherals and/ or programs.
