I bought this Dell for school about 1 week ago. The good part about this Dell Inspiron  530s computer is that it runs well. Having it hooked up to a good quality internet service is great but the thing is that the screens freeze a lot and I have to stop and start the computer often when  I have...

Dell Inspiron 530s desktop computer

This is my 3rd Dell PC and it is far superior than my last two, and those were quite good and still working I might add, now passed on to family members' kids for school use etc.

As with all Dell computers, the customer gets to choose exactly what they want for a machine, the OS, the speed, memory and so on.

The Inspiron 530s is one of the easiest computers to use. I decided to go against all the criticism and get the Windows Vista operating system of which I have had no trouble with at all. Vista is a very visual OS, colorful, lively and dare I say dimensional....

My grandmother purchased this Dell Inspiron 530S for me for Christmas last year. I absolutely love the size of the tower. Plus it has a flat screen monitor with it. It takes up a lot less space than my full size desktop that I used to have. It came with Windows Vista Home Basic and it's so much better than Windows XP. It runs alot faster. The computer is alot faster. I have alot more memory on this computer. The setup is so much easier. I absolutely love Dell products and will never have another name brand computer. The tower itself has ports for media cards, so now I don't have to have an external...

I am a home based travel agent and must have a fast, efficient computer.  My new Dell Inspiron is so much faster than my previous Dell which was approximately 5 years old.  I no longer have to wait to connect to my office and one of the best features is that it is "Energy Star".  I don't have to feel guilty about leaving my computer on for 12 to 16 hours a day - 7 days a week. 

Prior to purchasing my new Dell, I did my homework.  I would recommend purchasers know how much memory they need and spend the extra money, if necessary, for a system that is going to last several years.  I have...
