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 ...

Advantages: no middle man
Disadvantages: can become expensive

I first bought my Dell Dimension 2400 series last year. Me and my friend Emma had been messing around on the Internet and came across dells website. We had a look at the computers and I basically chose the cheapest one there. I never expected to get finance for it as I have a really bad credit rating so really we were just messing. It was really easy to browse on the website you chose the computer you want then on each next page there was a list ...

Advantages: Monitor, Business, Keyboard, Look.
Disadvantages: Slow, Heavy, Space taker.

Well the Dell Dimension 2400 I could say is pretty good for business purposes. Dell does let you customize it but its more of a business system. Its not really all that fast, it has two ram slots no agp slot. Which means no video card, which means no high quality good games. How ever I recommend this system for typing, at home jobs, and for searching purposes. Pretty good size monitor but thats about it. Works with windows xp and lower O.S. Read review

Advantages: No advantages of having a Dell computer
Disadvantages: Everything

Dell is one of the leading computer manufacturers but still they don't make their computers for the advanced users. The Dell Dimension has a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 processor (without HT technology!), a pathetic 40Gb hard drive, and a pathetic 256Mb stick of RAM. I will say this computer is ok for a beginner but for anyone wanting more from your pc, never buy a Dell computer in your life. Read on and you will find out why. My experience with the Dell Dimension ...
...about them. I got my Dell Dimension 2400 for a Christmas present about 3 years ago and I will be honest with you I was very pleased with it at the time but as time went on and I got a lot more experienced and older I wanted more. I had many problems with the computer; the motherboard does not have an AGP slot for the new graphics cards that are out now. The processor does not have hyper threading technology so it is not as fast as it can be at processing ... Read review

Advantages: You get what you pay for.
Disadvantages: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE CAN'T UNDERSTAND A THING THEY ARE SAYING

...Don't get me wrong, the computer has been a pleasure but if I had known about the crappy Customer service I would have never have ordered. I believe (although a great item and deal) the sole reason for me never buying a dell again will be the customer service. ... Read review
