I'm going on a month after purchasing. At first I had a problem with the wireless card. Afterwards I received an automatic update from Dell which updated the Bios. After that no problem at all. Runs nice and smooth. Would definitely recommend.

1.0 out of 5 starsBlue Screen of Death within hours of unboxing it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017

Style: DesktopVerified Purchase

Started to get the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (whea_uncorrectable_error) a few hours after unboxing it. After 4 hours on the phone with Dell Technical Support, they were still not willing to declare the PC a dud and issue a replacement. Amazon, of course, provided a frustration-free return process.I understand that things aren't always perfect, but Dell should have cut their losses after 4 hours of troubleshooting and tried to regain the trust of the customer by declaring it a dud and providing a new one. I returned it and purchased an HP Slimline 260 Desktop PC on Amazon for $50 less than the Dell.

1.0 out of 5 starsBad Network interface card.Had to pay return shipping costs.

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2015

processor_description: Intel Core i5Size: 8 GB RAMStyle: Windows 10Verified Purchase

I received the Dell on Nov 19 and immediately started loading Updates after startup.This is where the problems started.I have a 58 Mbps Internet connection and downloads are usually very, very fast.I took 2-3 hours to download the first file, which was a conglomeration of many fixes.The Installation went relatively fast.The next download was Service Pack 1 and that took 3-4 hours.

I checked my Network speed at speedtest.net several times and it indicated from 1 Mbps to 10 Mbps and wouldn't even start a few times.I had my old computer on the table next to it, so I moved the Ethernet cable from the Dell to the old computer and ran Speedtest several times, always indicating 58-59 Mbps.This pretty much told me that the Network card on the Dell was Bad.

I filed a return with Amazon and it was approved by the seller, who wasCandance Ross, thru Amazon - BUT, I was to pay the return shipping fee, which was $65.00.I thought that was not right, since I bought a new computer, but was sold a DEFECTIVE one.I have learned my lesson to not buy through one of the Amazon partners, because I am sure that Amazon would have paid for the shipping costs to return it.

4.0 out of 5 starsPleased so far...

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016

processor_description: Intel Core i5Size: 12 GB RAMStyle: Windows 10Verified Purchase

This is my first Dell computer after 20 years of owning Compaq & Hewlett Packard PCs.
I'm pleased so far. It was easy to set up & run from the start. I had no problems getting it up & going.
It did take a little while to delete the fluff & set it up the way I prefer, but that would be true of any new PC .
I'm not a big fan of Windows 10 yet, it seems to want to take more control of my computing & requires more effort on my part to save folders where I want them. But that's an OS issue, not hardware issue.
If not for my mild disappointment with Windows 10, I would have given it 5 stars. Most others I've talked to like 10.
This Dell seems to be a good computer, we'll see how it holds up in the long run.
I'm satisfied & pleased with it so far...

1.0 out of 5 starsRainbows and missing drivers.

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015

processor_description: Intel PentiumSize: 4 GB RAMStyle: Windows 10Verified Purchase

I don't know if this unit was refurbished or what but the way it was shipped, it's contents packaged and the simple instruction, etc., it makes you question if it was.
First, hooked it up, plugged it in, and the desktop couldn't detect the WIFI during setup. After several hours with Dell tech support, it was determined that several drivers were missing, including the WIFI driver and front USB drivers. Did an ethernet connection, a remote assist and still couldn't update the drivers, even in safe mode. After 3 hours, the screen went blank and started to illustrate all the different colors in the rainbow with intermittent static shots. What a joke. Dell wanted to send a tech out to fix, within the next 3 business days. BIOS reported that no WIFI card was installed after trying to update drivers so tech determined it's also a hardware issue. I asked why wasn't this tested before being shipped out and they responded that since it was Amazon's product for sale, they are suppose to test it.

I am shipping it back today. What a joke and waste of my time! Black Friday is around the corner, I'll find a better deal and comp. I only bought this machine because of all the rave reviews. Just proves again, how much that really matters.

I called Dell to find out why the MS Office Trial wasn't working and found out it was already 92 days old. Doesn't make sense since I bought it 2/5/16 and received it, plugged it in on 2/11/16. So far no response from the seller.

Here it is 10/5/16 with no response from Amazon, except a "Thank you feedback email" and no response from the seller, I now have a desktop computer that is not working. Do I call Dell, the seller or Amazon? Not sure of the direction to go. The computer was set up without a password and now it will not continue to the desktop until I put in a password. So what's a customer to do when we have this kind of problem????

3.0 out of 5 starsWorks in a somewhat limited way, but has serious limitations on abilityto upgrade

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

UPDATE (22 Dec 2016): discovered if you want to upgrade RAM to the full 16gb, you have to buy the specific RAM already installed or the machine won't recognize the additional RAM.

(earlier) Summary: disappointed in the limits on RAM and internal drive installation, and inability to upgrade processor. That said, I do think this computer could work for someone who isn't a serious gamer or doesn't do serious high-end graphics or video editing.

At first I was very pleased with this computer. Its processor (i5) and graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GT 730) are significant improvements over the six year old several times upgraded computer I had built. The disappointment set in as i became more familiar with the computer innards. I added a SSD only to find Dell doesn't provide a way to secure that inside the case. Unlike my older computer which had 3.5 inch drive bays and to which i could install a 2.5 inch SSD with an adapter, this Dell has a wider drive bay with a special adapter to fit the space. That adapter will hold one 3.5 inch drive, or 2 2.5 inch drives, but not one 3.5 inch and one 2.5 inch drive. (Fortunately, the internal SSD I installed doesn't have any moving parts, and I presume (or hope, anyway) that being installed without being tied down works.)

It also appears that, although the motherboard has two RAM slots, and the specifications manual says the computer can be configured for up to 128gb of RAM, that the computer has an inherent limit built in. I was told by a Dell tech assistant that the computer can only use 8gb of RAM. Another reviewer says it has a 16gb limit. For my purposes (video games,photo editing, graphic work), 8gb sort of works, and 16gb would work quite well from what I can tell if i can install that much RAM.

If, as another reviewer has noted, the processor can't be upgraded, that would be disappointing as well.

I've been using computers since I bought my Commodore 64 in 1982. Along the way, I'veupgraded subsequent PCs I have owned, and even built one from a kit, then upgraded that three times in the past six years. It seems to me that this Dell Inspiron desktop was not built with the idea that an owner would want to upgrade any of its capabilities. If i had known that, i would not have bought this computer. I would have preferred one I could buy with an i5 processor and 8gb of RAM that i could subsequently upgrade to a better i5 or an i7, and add more RAM.
