Dell did well

Advantages: quick, effecient, easy to set up
Disadvantages: expensive

...------------------- I will briefly list the relevant specifications here for all you computer bods. I understand now a lot more about what each bit means but a lot of the details I don?t see as necessary to this review, so if you want to know other details leave me a question in my comments. We ordered a dell dimension 4600 and the model number is D0746. It comes with HT technology, 3.0 Ghz, 800fsb and 1MB cache. We got a double memory bonus so we received 512MB RAM and also got a free hard drive upgrade from 80GB to 120GB. It also came with 1024MB dual channel memory, 48X DVD/CDRW combo drive, on board video plug, a data fax modem, a qwerty grey keyboard and a 15 inch flat panel monitor. We ordered an all in one inkjet printer which can scan, fax, copy and print and with that we got some extra cartridges for free, so in total we got 3 black and white...

Dell Dimension 4600 with DVD+RW Drive

Advantages: Very Fast Processor
Disadvantages: All computers break eventually

...Sadly i dont i only own this computer in my shop and have tested it and am 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 to anyone. This Computer I Am reviewing i mostly reccomend 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...

One Dell of a computer

Advantages: Fast and reliable, very easy to use and extremely good looking.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...I thought I'd write a reveiw about my lovely computer which I simply couldn't live without. I bought it from my son last year for £300 but I was told my whole set up actually retails for around £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 scanner and a cheap looking digital camera. The machine came complete with windows XP which is a lot more professional than my old windows 98. Also windows XP has a built in 3D pinball machine which...

Dell Dimension 5150

Advantages: Excellent media capabilities
Disadvantages: Lacks wireless peripherals

.... One of the things I found disappointing was that it does not allow the connection of PS2 keyboard and mouse which can be frustrating as people still use these, also a floppy drive was not installed. I am not sure if it was the users' preference upon purchase, but from what I know the New Dell E510 has one as standard. On the other hand it had 7 usb ports which can also be used for keyboard and mouse connections. Two of these ports are accessible on the front of the stylish Artic Silver BTX case allowing connection of devices such as MP3 players, scanners, digital cameras and much more. Overall a good PC for the price, although lacking certain additions such as a wireless internet connection, fiirewire connection and lacks wireless peripherals. Everything is there that creates a good multimedia computer, which is capable of playing most...

A Technophobe?s Guide

Advantages: Best value for money among big brands at time of buying
Disadvantages: One repair needed after 13 months, details below.

...use the rest of the computer during the short wait for it to be repaired. We had no other problems during the five years we owned this computer. Reason for Replacing: After 5 years we wanted so much upgraded that it was cheaper to buy a new computer. Would we consider buying again? Yes. It came in second choice after Dell in 2004. * Tiny * Bought 2002. This company made the computer to our specifications, so it had to be ordered. Complaints. It arrived long after the promised date, and had numerous faults. Owning this was a nightmare, and in 2004 we decided we couldn?t live with it any more! * Dell Dimension 4600 3.06GHz * Bought 2004. Dell makes computers to your own specifications, so it had to be ordered. It was delivered in the promised timescale, and my husband and daughter, who don?t want me touching...

Review of Dell Dimension 4600

THE MACHINE I LOVE

Advantages: A good reliable machine.
Disadvantages: None.

...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 more !! I wanted the memory upped to 512MB Ram which will mean nothing to non technical people, but what it means to me is a quicker machine, and the capacity to multi task, quickly jumping from one program to the 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...

MY Dell Dimension E520

Advantages: Great value, excellent looks, build your own - wide range of components!
Disadvantages: Dell Bios - Basically Locks any tweaking options! Awful keyboard and mouse! No FireWire as Standard.

...The excellent value Dell Dimension E520 system is built around the Intel Pentium D processors, they may be a bit old to date but even so, they offer the new Intel ViiV technology to provide you with an excellent media experience! Despite the lack of AMD processors, Dell have come out shining with the E520 - with at least 1GB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory, you will be more than happy as you can easily run simultaneous, demanding applications at the same time. The dual core Intel Pentium D provides you with bags of processing power which will be very handy will today's demanding and power hungry games! Test's with Nero 7 Premium gave excellent results. We captured a 120 minute movie with ease and then burnt it to DVD in less than 30 minutes including encoding in super high quality! As well as this, we tested some of the most popular games...

Dell Dimension 2400

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. <Operating Systems> Very good for a started computer and last a long time. Not the best for traveling and taking along with you. Not a bad system though but don't take my word for it try it out see what you think about it. Comes with a cool keyboard and mouse, plus I like the style....

Review of Dell Dimension 2400

Time for a new Dimension

Advantages: Large hard drive, lovely widescreen monitor
Disadvantages: Slow processor for the size, bulky

...When my husband was alive, one thing he loved to buy was a computer. So much so that when he died, we had 7 computers in the house, which is testament both to how much he loved buying them and also to how loathe he was to dispose of them. Over time I started to offload them one by one ? including two earlier Dell Dimension models. However the E521 was the very last computer he bought and as a result was the one I decided to keep as the sole desktop computer in the house once I had moved my daughter on to a laptop. My husband purchased the E521 in 2007, and it?s an easy on the eye machine, if somewhat bulky. At the time Dell were still offering a choice of XP or Vista for the operating system and given we had concerns about bugs in Vista and compatibility issues with other hardware, he decided to opt for XP. As with all Dell...

Review of Dell Dimension E521

Dell Dimension E521

Advantages: 19" screen, Dualcore Processor, 320Gb Hdd, 2gb Ram
Disadvantages: Vista, Sound card, no software included

...I have bought this desktop after my laptop mysteriously broke down one day. I found out there were several interesting offers on the Dell website and this Dell Dimension E521 was well within my budget of £650. On the day I ordered my PC I got a free memory upgrade of 2GB (instead of 1GB), a reduction in the price of the 19" monitor, and £50 off. However, after I modified the computer to fit my needs, It came down to a total of £661. For this money I got: -AMD Athlon 64x2 processor 5000 (2.6Ghz, 512k) -2GB PC2-4200 DDR2 Memory -ATI Radeon X1300 pro 256MB DVI/VGA output -230 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive -16x DVD+/-RW Burner -19" Dell E197FP LCD Monitor -10/100 Ethernet -Six USB 2.0 Ports -Windows Vista deluxe edition. Let me begin with the advantages: It has a very fast processor and in combination with the 2GB ram it is...
