Advantages: Easy to set up and navigate around screens.
Disadvantages: Not as fast as more expensive options.

I bought this PC early this year and bought it as a package deal with monitor/scanner/speakers. I do think it was a tad expensive, however, I have been extremely pleased with its performance. Due to working in graphics I had always used Apple Mac's and friends had wondered why I was going for a PC. But I had a lot of trouble with my last Mac and could never find people to help repair it as they are so specialised. At the moment I mainly use this ...
...video footage and worked on my website using a variety of software. I find it extremely fast and hardly never freezes on me. The windows vista OS that came with it is also very easy to understand, however, my printer has not been compatible with Vista and I havent been able to download a driver from Epson. The tower section is large but quite light so I carried the PC up 4 flights of stairs to my flat. The keyboard is very slim and attractive in ... Read review

Advantages: Small and compact, ideal for day to day use
Disadvantages: Not the best for gamers

Just to sum it up before I blabber on, Awesome for the Price. The pavilion slimline s3015 may not be top of the range, it may not have the best graphics card and it may not have the best processor. But at the price it's going for (+/- £325 on average) it's fantastic, great for the people who have had a dusty old machine clankering away all these years and is failing to meet their basic needs such as web browsing and media sharing. For the price ...
...the basics will be able to afford this without breaking the bank. The graphics card and processor are also powerful enough to run most direct x 9 games on respectable settings, although for the hardened gamer this pc wouldnt be compatible for their needs. With the space for an extra gig of ram to be fit into the tiny chasis this pc could beome a very versatile little machine. ... Read review

Advantages: Great value for money, Outstanding design, lots of ports
Disadvantages: Not very quiet

I bought this computer shortly after the new year making it a very good buy, mainly becasue they had to search around the shop as they did not know where it was. Eventually the assistant found it on the shelf in the back, normally intended for stock replacement after the sales. This was great. I got a computer for a good price that I dad not see advertised anywhere else for about a year. Any way I would still recomend it even without the luck I ...
...me studying my degree. The multiple USB ports fitted my many memory sticks and spare ones for my external USB TV card. Also having one of these at the front means that easy access is a good feature. Having four slots for photography memory card was also useful, like the well known and generally used SD card. Mine came with the 19in monitor as well so that is worth thinking about. 140gb hard drive is more than enough. As well as it being one of ... Read review

...too! It was the first Dell XPS desktop i ever got and its one of the best computers i have ever got! It came with Dell speakers and subwoofer and a 15'' monitor! The only bad thing about it is that its really big and is realy noisey!!! But apart from that it is a really good computer! It has Neon lights in it and you can download software called Dell XPS Light FX and when you play music in Windows Media Player the lights change colours! And you can ... Read review

Advantages: Good value, runs most common apps well
Disadvantages: Struggles with high intensity graphics apps and games

...nothing special here, quite typical Dell styling - neat and clean, but not particularly eye catching! Finally, high intensity programs such as professional design apps and games, this PC will simply not cope! Personally I would not recommend Dell for this as, having used a number of different models, come no where close to a custom built PC for the same price. ... Read review
