Much better than the original Dell 2710 AIO

Note that a version of this review was originally posted to a different shopping site on the web shortly after my purchase in May 2018.
As a purchaser of the original Dell 2710 All-in-One in December 2012, it finally became time to purchase something new in early May 2018 when I started getting smart drive warnings about a likely imminent hard drive failure. I didn’t see much sense in replacing the hard drive in a now nearly 5.5-year-old PC with somewhat outdated technology and so I bit the bullet and bought this beautiful new Dell 7760 AIO directly from Dell online in the configuration with 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD adding a 4-year support/service plan, the needed external DVD/CD optical drive and a one-year MS Office 365 subscription.
The overall aesthetics and construction of the current Dell 27-inch AIO are clearly superior to the original version. It looks sleeker with its somewhat darker aluminum monitor and base despite the fact that it actually now weighs a few pounds more. The 4K UHD touch display is beautiful – although I don’t really need the touch capability - and in combination with the integrated 10 speakers it’s like having an additional television/stereo system around the house when the PC is not being used for more serious pursuits. The 100% SSD (no hybrid) is a real joy to use and in combination with the extra memory keeps all activities happily and smoothly speeding along. If you run a program like Glary Utilities occasionally, you will receive objective confirmation of the now much more rapid Windows boot time with an SSD. You will also not fail to notice this subjectively on a daily basis.
I was very pleased to immediately note the absence of two extremely bothersome issues that I repeatedly had with my old Dell 2710 AIO:
1) While the power button on the new 7760 AIO is now smaller and more elongated than before, it works easily and consistently every time! It was a real chore to get my old AIO to turn on. I would have to press the round power button just right, holding it down and even trying different fingers at different angles of impact to get it to finally show some signs of life. I finally just left the 2710 AIO on all the time since I was worried that one day simply wouldn’t boot due to this extremely glitchy power button issue.
2) There have been no instances of my monitor going black so far and displaying a warning related to the input timing being incorrect and requiring me to deselect the HDMI port which I had never chosen in the first place. The only way to solve this problem was to manually power down and then reboot. And this issue came up many times over the course of the 5.5 years that I owned the PC.
Everything has been smooth sailing so far during my first two weeks of daily use and I can recommend this Dell 7760 AIO, in whichever configuration you prefer, without reservations. I will report back on any unanticipated issues/problems if they should arise.

I purchased 2 of these for my home based business. I originally purchased the Surface Studio but could not justify the $5000 price tag after tax and warranty. I then decided on this Dell XPS 27 and I must say WOW! The 4k screen is flawless out of the box and the i7 chip is faster than the Surface Studio! Also the Solid State hard drive makes this a performance beast with a 5 second boot up time. You can also upgrade to 64GB of Memory directly from dell if you wish. The Dell XPS 27 is iMac / Surface Studio quality for sure. We love them!

Dont Waste Your Money

I did not buy this because of the specs. i7-7700 not specified as HQ or K or anything - this is important. What is the video card type btw? Does not say. This worries me highly.
I say do not buy this because it has STORAGE DRIVE and BOOT DRIVE as same drive as a typical consumer PC when this is not a typical build. More appropriately, needs to be split with larger drives. 1-2TB for storage, 256-512GB for OS. This is a MUST.
Note how the ram is the decade-old technology for DDR3. NO.
Note how the camera is not even one full megapixel? That will give Skype a wonderfully LOW resolution of 144p which is of the absolute lowest resolution possible. This is a 4th of the resolution of black and white TV shows on standard cable.
What a waste of engineering. I feel sorry for those plastic trees that died to make this piece of junk.
