Dell Studio Desktop

 

The Dell Studio Desktop is a jack of all trades but a master of none.

HDMI and DisplayPort. 802.11n wireless networking. Minimal crapware.

No Blu-ray. Pricier than competition. Only 30-day subscription to McAfee Internet Security. Awkward hard drive expansion.

Good Computer, but some Crapware Present

 

Pros: Great machine. Cons: Some Crapware (i.e., pre-installed software that can slow down the machine; see below) *** Overall: This is a good machine (studio quad core, 6gb memory, 760 gb HD, Nvidia 9500 card). I would recommend it. However-- there...

Can't beat the price

 

Intel Quad core, 8gig of ram, 2-640 gig hard drives in raid 0(fakeraid, no dedicated card) and ati 3450 gpu for $500. As for gaming this will actually pull 5 more fps than a Phenom II 940(no OC') with similar gpu on high settings, but no ones wanting...

Pretty Smooth

 

Specs: QuadCore 3GHz, 8GB ram, 640GB hard drive. I bought this computer for the 64-bit operating system, which allows me to fully utilize 8GB of ram for statistical software that I use. Multi-tasking is very smooth. It hasn't crashed once since I've...

Fantabulous Machine!

 

I love this pc. I have always owned HP in the past and had so many problems with them. I decided on a Dell this time and am very glad I did. I built & ordered it on Sun., it was shipped the next day and delivered at my home 2 days later. Fast delivery!...

Audio cuts out during full screen video = FAIL

 

I bought this to use primarily to watch media and listen to music on my Home Theater system. Unfortunately, the audio cuts in/out when watching full screen video of any type (youtube, bluray, dvd, avi, mpg, etc.). Awful.
