Advantages: easy to set up and use, quiet running, upgrades well worth the small cost Disadvantages: getting used to Vista, but that's me
...hubby, who snagged a free Dell lappy during the AOL promo). We looked over the various models the Dell web site had to offer, and decided to customise this particular one.
I love to play games on my PC, so I was not willing to settle for the basic onboard graphics that came as standard, so opted to upgrade that bit to the optional ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card. With 256 of power, the graphics are clear, sharp, and utterly beautiful. When playing ... ...chose to upgrade to the Dell 20 inch wide screen model. With its non glare screen and easy tilt to adjust stand features, it does the card justice. Its large enough view DVDs comfortably from seating several feet away, showing nice, clear images that make my TV seem as Flintstone vintage as it nearly is, but not so large that my desk looks overcrowded or that it shouts "Look at ME, I'm FLASH!". Now, my old PC was not the most memory heavy and I had ...

...be heard when used.
Dell offers good driver support but their tech and customer support is not the best. Long waits and call transfers expected!
The only problem I have had with this system is the power supply. I recently upgraded this system by adding more hard drives and a new graphics card however the power supply was a cheap low powered model and it had to be replaced - in all fairness most PC manufactures do cut costs going down this route ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Poor Customer Service - no UK based Support - Sending out faulty goods
Received the Inspiron 530 from Dell Faulty - CD drawer was not functioning - have contacted Dell 11 or 12 times now without any success so far. I have asked that this system be returned to Dell and my payment refunded. Dell have continually tried to persuade me to have the system repaired, and when I ask for the system to be collected they cut me off. Their Customer Services is awful. There are no Directors in the UK to contact or Management I was ... ...got my money back - I really would not recommend Dell to anyone - they are sending out faulty systems and trying to persuade customers to keep them. Once I get my money back from Dell I would never entertain them again or recommend them. Take my advice stay clear ...

...I placed the order online. Dell was kind enough to call me to confirm the shipment of the item. The setup was easy as the cables were color-coded. It comes with 10 USB ports (4 in front and 4 behind). There is 2 USB ports inside as well. It is useful to me as I have tons of USB devices. The keyboard and mouse are average looking but with good quality. I also added a 2.1 speaker system which is the Dell A525 to the order for GBP10. The speakers are ...

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. ...

Advantages: double proccessor, never overheats, very quiet, selection of grpahics cards, enclosed in silver casing Disadvantages: none
The Dell Inspiron 530 was a birthday present for me and is a very stylish and new computer.
This computer is very stylish because of the silver casing which covers the actual black computer box its self. Bothe DVD and optional blue ray disc drives are hidden making it look plain which also makes it look very neat and tidy. The Dual Core processor is capable of much more than it seems. All though Core 2 duo would be much better, the PC is able to ... ...that the 1.4Ghz is doubled meaning that the total output is actually a big 2.8Ghz! (reliable source - My dad who works for an IT buisness as a programer). There is also a selection of graphics cards to choose with this proccessor if bought online from dell. This computer makes little noise and is very quiet compared with my mums Packard Bell computer which has only a Pentium D proccessor.
There are no disadvantages to this computer so far and I ...
