I have used many computers before I bought the Dell 531. The last one was another Dell and it was pretty good. However, this one is the worst computer I have ever owned. The system is very slow, the software is terrible, especially the Microsoft Vista and nothing ever runs right even the software that came with the computer. The only good thing about the deal was the monitor! It is so bad, that I think I am going to convert to a Mac!
