I think something could be done to make it easier to compare 2 or more computers when an add is sent out. You could highlight 2 or more computers by number or letter, and see what the differences are. Makes it easier to see pros and cons for each computer.
Pros:This is our 3rd Dell computer. All are runnng and I am very pleased with them. I actually sent out an e-mail to 20 of my friends this morning telling them that the last dell computer has come back on sale again.
Cons:None

Overall, a good value.
Pros:PC booted right up with no problems. I have had no major issues with the hardware or software.

I am so Happy!

PostedJuly 23, 2008
Yes, I would recommend this product
I plan on ordering another Dell for my home.
Pros:Fast startup and shutdown. So quiet I thought for the first 2 days I had a problem with it shutting down overnight. It's as if it isn't even on. I guess that shows how noisy my last computer was. I contacted customer support with a small issue that I had and the response from one of the Dell technicians was awesome. This is my first Dell and I am very pleased. All my other computers have been home built. No comparison,
Cons:None as of yet.

I like the system but not the keyboard. You can not see the light to indicate the capital letter lock or the numerical lock. The light is too low. Also I am getting a memory error when I start the system, not sure why yet. Overall it appears to be a good valyue for the price

Excellent Business Machine

PostedJuly 23, 2008
Yes, I would recommend this product
We try to buy our machines as similar as we can for ease of maintenance, but the options change very frequently. These machines are ideal for business use!
Pros:Low on bloatware, easy to configure, fast shipment, easy to put into service. These machines operate very well, have had zero problems with these.
Cons:Price is still a little high, and configuration options change very fast.

Reliable Home "Server"

PostedJune 21, 2008
Yes, I would recommend this product
Also had excellent response from Dell service (for all those refurbished laptops I have...). Service level was a big factor in choosing Dell for my main home network PC.
Pros:Excellent value for features included. I use it for very basic office / internet stuff but also as a backup "server" (use the 2nd HD as a dedicated back-up drive) for 3 other laptops. This works very well with MS Live One Care. Expandablity also nice for the future. This is an ideal machine for home network use - very pleased.
Cons:None so far after 3 months.
