Pros: Price vs features, fast shipping, overall quality
Cons: None at this time
Summary: The unfortunate thing about PC reviews is of course how dated they become in a matter of weeks, especially given Dell's propensity to shuffle the deck twice per week. By this I mean, you can monitor the current deals on the website on a daily basis ... read more

Pros: Quick startup, fast loads, dependable operation, generous memory, and flawless function
Cons: the original crt monitor was too heavy and bulky
Summary: After being a loyal Compaq fan for 8 or 9 years, I decided to get away from the brand due to the HP buyout and picked up a 2.8 Ghz Dell system. I've had it for almost a year now (plenty of time to write an accurate review) and have come to the ... read more

Pros: Build your own, reasonable price, quality computer
Cons: AOL-DSL issues
Summary: After 7 years of owning only Gateways I decided it was time for a change. Actually, I was doing a little research for a friend who desperately needed a new computer. I decided to call Dell and see if I could get a quote on a computer for her. The woman I ... read more

Pros: Brand name
Cons: Low quality power supplies
Summary: I had a Dell Dimension 4600 for about 3 years now. All was fine. But a couple of weeks back the power supply went bust. Did the diagnostics and some research on the net. Found that it is very common for Dell PCs, especially the Dimension series. The

Pros: Good tech support, overall reliability
Cons: Power supply went after only 1 year
Summary: Bought a Dell 4600 series 2 years ago and I would say overall this is a very good built machine. The only problem I have had was I needed to replace the power supply about 11 months ago. Seems like when the warranty ran out.... so did the power. Oh

Pros: Reliable and fast computers once upgraded to 512 MB RAM.
Cons: System seems to hang a bit with less than 512 MB RAM
Summary: I've been buying Dell computers for my business ever since Compaq changed their name to HP. And I couldn't be happier about the change. These systems are great at multitasking and small development jobs. I can't remember when things ran so smoothly

Pros: My replacement computer works.
Cons: First computer had no hard drive. Customer service awful. Can't understand their accents.
Summary: This is the third & LAST computer I have bought from DELL. First, my computer came with no hard drive, believe it or not. It took 3 weeks to get a replacement, then they lost my return and tried to say I didn't return it. I did have the receipt from

Pros: Worked great until a few days ago
Cons: Appears to have a known problem with power supply
Summary: I had absolutely no problems with my Dell 4600 until a few days ago when I went to turn it on and nothing happened. I followed all of the trouble-shooting steps in the manual and still nothing. I called Dell Support and they walked me through a

Pros: reasonably happy with Dell's support and ease of Power Supply replacement.
Cons: not happy the power supply crapped out after 18 months
Summary: I've had my Dell Dimension 4600 for 18 months and it was error-free until about 4 months ago when it would not always turn back on from shutdown as expected. Eventually the little green idiot light would come on for ~3 seconds, then off for ~10 seconds,

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheaply made. Lowest quality parts. Motherboards and Power supplies are major problems on Dells.
Summary: Don't buy a Dell. The 4600 I bought along with thousands of others have experience total failures due to defective hardware. Dell uses the lowest bidder to provide parts. The 4600 has known problems with their Power Supplies and Motherboards. Dell

Pros: Good speakers, 17 inch monitor, 200 dollar rebate.
Cons: Most of the programs on computer were trial, one month programs.
Summary: Actually I wasn't supposed to receive this model, 8300 model, but I couldn't send it back for some reason or another. So I was forced to keep it. A lot of hard drive space 112 gigabytes. I have only used 2 percent. 2.8, actually 2.79. Not that fast but I
