Dell Dimension 4600

...but I ended up choosing Dell for a number of reasons. Dell have a great reputation for producing quality computers. The basic procedure of purchasing the computer was simple and had no problems. I ordered online and made the computer specification myself.

...But back to the Dell Dimension 4600, whats so good about it? Well I've had the system over a year now and I've had no problems with it. Let me repeat that - NO PROBLEMS. I've got friends and family who have problems with computers all the time but I never have any. The system has crashed perhaps a handful amount of times and that is impressive i'm sure you'll agree. The system is quiet and performs very well with the above specification. Of course ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

...badly. My boyf had seen dell advertised on the tele loads and I had had all those god damn annoying pop ups hitting my screen whenever I logged into ciao (tip: download the google toolbar and it stops them.) We went to curry’s first of all as we really needed to get one on credit but both got turned down, I justified having it on credit as my mystery shop jobs would cover the monthly payments easily. So we tried Dell, we both thought we would have ...
...The Dell website -------------------------- This was probably the hardest way of ordering a computer I have ever tried, but just purely for the fact that there was no advice available and I had to do some guess work as to what the specs meant and what we actually needed. The other deceiving thing is that when you see a computer on the front page advertised for lets say £550 that’s not really the correct price, that is just the cost for the tower ...

By January 2004 the floppy disc drive was no longer incorporated as standard, so we paid an extra £15 for this. As the price for a larger memory than standard was modest, he also decided to pay extra for that to try to make the computer as “future prove” as possible. (After our experience with the ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

I purchased a Dell Dimension because I reserached computers for a long time before my initial purchase because I knew all the things at the time that I wanted a computer to be able to do and the Dell Dimension fit the bill. In those days I had to telephone Dell to make my order, and to get the computer up to my specifications, and I really like the fact that Dell allow for personalisation of their products. This is a powerful tool, but I wanted ...
...next with no difficuly. Dell had a range of packages that outstripped the competitors, and their technical backing impressed me. There was online and also telephone help and I was a total idiot when it came to computers, so this was vital. I have to mention here that I live in a Foreign country and wanted all my software in English and backup in English as well. This I got, and I was given the telephone number of Dell in Ireland who have been useful ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

The Dell Dimension is a good solid mid-to-high mid range computer. In the minimum configuration it provides enough speed and storage capacity for work and home use including basic multi media. In the high end range it also is good for some more serious multi media work. For just work and surving it is too powerfull. It comes with a basic set of tools for multi-media operations like burning cd's and dvd's. Although nothing fancy it does the trick ...
...configuring the PC was missing. Dell was in September 2004 only offering a USB external option that will compete with other USB devises for resources potentially leading to hick-ups in TV viewen or recording. Better buy a separate tuner card and install it yourself. A pitty because some potential buyers would not like to open the box and do this themselves. Another omission is not offering a remote control for the Media Center., but unless you want ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

...£900. My machine is a Dell Dimension 4600 which runs at 4.8GH power and has SD Ram memory. My son tells me that the amount of memory installed will last me personally for as long as I need it to, so you can almost say I have a lifetimes supply of computer memory, I only wish my real memory was as certain he he. It came equipped with a 56k modem and has a 120 GB hard drive. A 3D AGP graphics card,cd and dvd re writer, HP colour printer, a flatbed ...
...The graphics on my Dell machine are a lot more refined and the sound quality is excellent, giving out full dolby surround sound. I can play almost any game or dvd on here with the minimum of fuss due to an inteligent device which my son set up so almost every thing I do can be accessed by one simple menu screen. This makes life a lot easier for me as I am not very computor literate, so being able to simply type in what function I need and have it ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

...now going to review it. Dell in general produce very well made computers at very very good prices and the 4600 is no exception. Compared to the others 4600's you may find this one at a higher price due to the fact that DVD+RW drives are a new thing and are still alot more pricy depending on the make and weiting speed to CD-RW Drives. The Dell Dimension range in its self i have found to be a great range of computers so i would highly reccomend them ...
...it to home users even though it can be good for the small buisiness'. The processor is very fast which means that all the start-up programs you may have should not take to long to complete. This computer is also very good for internet use. As with most to all dells this one comes with a flat screen but a warning to those with flat screen they can break easily during the delivery process which could cause some problems. I Personally recomend that ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

Okay the Dell I bought can be completely different from yours simply because each one is customizable on the website. Because of this there's not much point in talking about what my video card is, also by the time you read this it might be quite old if not obsolete. The first thing that is noticeable from the Dell is probabaly it quiteness. I gotta admit when I first turned it on I wasnt sure if it actually was on at all. However, nowadays I believe ...
...into consideration when thinking of purchasing this PC. The next thing I noticed (well actually before I guess) was the amount of connection at the rear. I think in total it has about 7 USB ports inclusing the front access one which comes in useful with memory keys. Also the on board sound card somes with 5 channels. Just plug this into an amplifier and you're away. If you want to control your centre speaker from the PC you can do that with its ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

We bought our Dell Dimension 4600 last year, as a replacement for our original Dell Dimension XPS-T500. The decision to buy another Dell was not a difficult one - the original computer is still going strong, and has never given us any problems. However, the world of computers progresses at an alarming pace, and the old computer (which when bought was in fact the top of the range) was no longer up to the task. The computer is used a lot for imaging ...
...drive space. A new Dell was the obvious choice... The computer that was chosen was the Dimension 4600 - a striking looking machine finished in 'Midnight Grey'. It was purchased via the internet, which is simplicity itself. Dell offers a number of incentives too (often limited to internet purchases) - free RAM upgrades, monitor upgrades, device improvements (i.e. CD ROM to DVD, CD/RW to DVD/RW) - there is always an internet-only offer to sweeten ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

This has to be idiot proof - when I received delivery of it I was worried because of all of the different boxes and discs but thankfully all of the hardware and software was loaded onto the computer and the discs were given for future use. The computer itself was colour coded to make it easy to connect the wires in the right places! Excellent. Also I bought the black version so from a girlie point of view it also looks good! I'd say the only disadvantage ...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

The Dell 4600 series is a good work-horse of a PC able to perform a wide range of tasks whether it be business use, home use, or gaming. The Dell comes with a range of offers to suit all requirements, and Dell seem to vary the offers monthly so keep checking. The package I got was an Intel Pentium 4 processor 3.1 Ghz, with a 60GB hard drive, 1MB graphics card, and included a All-in-one printer scanner & fax. plus a 17in flat panel monitor (very ...
...advisable to upgrade the system and go for a seperate CD-RW & DVD-R in order to allow for easier burning of CD's etc.. whilst performing other tasks. It is also suprising how many floppy disks you still have so the £15 for the disk drive is also worth it. The only other upgrade that is a must, is MS Office - do not bother with MS works, you will regret it. Especially if you are used to working in office, as MS works and MS office are not as a rule ...

I'm no computer boffin and I don't know a great deal of computer speak, but I'll tell you what I do know about this computer... I got this computer for university, but I'm pretty sure it'll last me much longer. The massive amount of memory means I have no problem running programs simultaneously (which was the main thing that annoyed me about my old one - it never seemed fast enough to keep up with me) and I can store loads of files in the memory. ...
