This is an ok computer, the duo core option is very fast, but the Windows Vista is a product I have yet to adore.  It was caused many problems with the programs on the computer as well as the computer itself. The McAfee product has failed to work, as well as the internet explorer.  Several downloaded... review »

I have had my Dell Dimension for over 2 years. Getting used to the Vista was a challenge, especially the Word and Power Point.  But now I do very well with them and prefer this version over 98.  I have 98 at work and I don't have the versitality that Vista has. It was hard at first to navigate and find everything.  This computer is very fast which is great for me as I am impatient. I like the game features that came installed. I would have liked to add a ittle more memory as it only has 1.00 GB but at the time this was all I needed. The DVD/CD player/Burner is an excellent feature. There is...

 This machine is fast, dependable and worthy of the Dell name. It has a hard drive large enough to store all the normal computer user will need for years. There is a large amount ram which coupled with the dual core processor gives you speed with no lag time. Add to that great Dell service. I couldn't be more pleased.

It's a good computer, easy to use and is pretty fast.  The only downside I found is when updating the computer, it takes forever on mine.  The last upgrade took just over 36 hours.  It gets slow during this time, but other than that, it is a nice computer.

The Dell Dimension E520 is a great machine to have.  You can do what ever you want on this computer and it is very user-friendly.  Even if you don't know computers well, you should not have a problem working this one.  You can install different types of software if you need to type a reume or a paper for school.  There are many features in Microsoft Office to use that would make your paper a success.  You can also install Ant-Viruses so your computer will always be protected.  When your bored, you can play games either by your self or with your friends.  You can even play on the Internet...

Dell makes good computers I was a first time userand now I use it everyday. Iam older so I was very computer illeritate,but now I feel very confident in using my Dell. This is the 2 Dell we have had but the first one I really go t into using. Been able to find all kinds of info with this computer and when we buy a new one I hope we can find one as easy to use, and one that I feel comfotable using. Dell is simple and not to expensive has many different models to choose from. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a dependable, home computer. Hopefully though down the line computers will become even...

My dell computer is awesome. I am online all the time reading my e-mails and playing games on the pogo website. I have purchased a laptop also. Since purchasing my computer I have purchased two more computers for family and friends and purchased one more laptop for a friend. I would recommend dell highly to anyone who asks. I only had one problem since I purchased mine two years ago and that was the hard drive, I have since had it fixed and it works great again. For anyone looking for a computer Dell has everything you are looking for and than some.If ever I need to replace this computer I will...
