Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Fairly Slow

I got my Dell a couple of years ago when it was a top of the range PC. The Dimension XPS R450 is a hard working machine with a great spec for a commercial machine. Unlike many companies, Dell do not bundle your PC with tons of stupid peripherals that are poor quality or useless. My Dimension XPS 450 came with a Epson Stylus 640 printer, and no Webcam or rubbish scanner which wouldn't have got used anyway. This system has 128MB RAM which is all you ...
...a P2 450 processor it is more than fast enough to run any programs available at the moment. The 12.8 Gb Hard Disk has tons of space for the average home user and it comes with a Zip Drive to back up your work anyway. This system comes with a Toshiba DVD ROM which is great for entertainment. The only problem is that the speakers on this system could be better as they are only just powerful enough to listen to the DVD. I recently upgraded my system ... Read review

Advantages: competitive prices, easy to order, good support
Disadvantages: only saw the product on my computer

...the point, i found the Dell website, and i was saved. It's best feature was that you could input exactly what specifications you wanted, and the price would be updated instantly on your screen. In my case I wanted next day on-site cover for 3 years instead of the one, and that only cost an extra £75 which isn't too much to ask for peace of mind. My computer arrived on-time (and all in one piece), and i could also track it's shipping progress over ...
...thoroughly happy with it. No problems at all. My tip is that you just have to go ahead and get the best model you can afford, it's no good waitng for a newer, faster model becasue you'll never be satisfied. As long as it's got everything you want, just go ahead and order it. ... Read review

Advantages: quality / warranty / solid
Disadvantages: none

I bought my dell pc just over 2 months ago because of a review in a pc mag when it came out tops on the specification offered for the price. I went the whole hog and upgraded. There is still no pcs on the market today which can match the spec. Despite that, even if they did, i have heard of too many horror stories for high street retailers like Time. There warranties do not come near the collect and return facility offered by DELL along with first ...
...machine apart possibly from the dell modem. my dvd drive is faster and better than most I have seen. I upgraded to an 8x4x rewriter (sony and a further plethora of quality components not to mention the 192trinitron monitor. Excellent money/ excellent value / excellent quality. Where is your argument? ... 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
