Dell inspiron 530 desktop computer Reviews

I just recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 530 computer and I have had nothing but problems since the day I hooked it up!  Just to let you know a few things about the return policy.  I was not able to return the computer on the 8th day that I had received it because the return policy starts from the date the order is placed.  I called Dell and told them the disk drawers would not open, they kept getting stuck.  Then it started making a very loud clicking noise when I would get on the internet.  My screen that I had with my last computer a "Dell" Pentium III  does not work properly and to this...

THIS UNIT (DELL INSPIRON 530)  FREQUENTLY SHUTS DOWN.  ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRYING TO SURF THE NET,   EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 10 MB SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION.  SOME TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET ACCESS TO MY HOME PAGE.  THEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT MAY TAKE UP TO 2 OR 3 MINUTES FOR THE HOME PAGE TO LOAD.  I KNOW IT IS NOT MY CABLE MODEM OR ANYTHING ELSE OF THAT NATURE BECAUSE I HAVE UNHOOKED THIS UNIT AND RECONNECTED MY OLD UNIT AND I DON'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE OLDER (SEVERAL YEARS OLDER) UNIT.

ALSO, AFTER THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN IN USE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, IT BEGINS TO MAKE...

The Dell Inspiron 530 is a solid piece of machinery. I have owned as well as built other computers in the past and the Inspiron 530 is as trouble free as they come. I have experienced absolutely zero problems in my 1+ year of owning this product and have been thoroughly impressed by its rock-solid performance.

The Inspiron 530 is also easily upgradable. I have upgraded that factory memory from 2 GB to 3 GB as well as added and aftermarket harddrive with little required effort. The machine is put together very cleanly and the wires are neat on the inside.

The Intel Quad core that I have is running...

Dell manufactures good computers. If possible, make your purchase from a dealer rather than on line or by phone.  Once the sales person hangs up or goes off line it is impossible to recontact him/her. In addition be aware of all the "add ons " that will be included even if you do not want them. 

The Inspiron is a little power house when it is up and running.  However, should you require assistence from tech support it can be a bit dicey.  Tech service is off shore so the possibility of reaching someone who is fully fluent in English is a gamble.

A new development in Tech support is more...

I have had the Dell inspiron 530 since Oct 08 and have not had one problem, it is fast and well worth the money for the home user.  I can store my pictures and make them into slide shows or dvds.  I can do my word processing, get online with no problem and do my banking etc.  I have always owned Dells and this one is just as good as my last one which lasted 10 years.  Dell has a very good warranty and is very good at helping you decide exactly what you need on your computer. They are not pushy and don't try to sell you needless things.  The computer is exactly what I wanted and more.  It...

I am writing about this computer because It isn't the best one like everyone say it is. When i got it i was thinking that it was going to be a ok computer. The system is window vista and i really don't like window vista it is a lot of this that you can't do with this system. The system XP works better to me it have a lot more thing you can do it program you can get into. You have lots of systems you can get into . My computer is silver and it has the cd and dvd buner on it it also have some nice programs like the resume making programs. When you go and buy your next one don't get this one get the...

This Dell Inspiron 530 is a fantastic computer!  I use it for work and play.  It is fast and rarely gets stuck.  It seemed noisy at first but really isn't that bad.  The screen is nice and big and has a great picture when downloading movies or videos.  We have it networked to another pc, a laptop, an all-in-one printer, and an extra harddrive.  It easily handles all of the work without slowing down.  I also use it to create a large booklet for my children's school auction.  It very easily handles the load of doing the booklet.  i can easily move between pages without delay.  Another advantage...

I had seen the Dell ad for the inspiron 530 and I though it was a good deal. In general it has been a good system with the exception of being able to run games. It has a very poor video card and I cant run most games. I feel that Dell should have mentioned thr poor video card and at least recomended a card that would be appicable to gamming

I love my Dell Inspiron 530 desktop pc.    I have had it about a year now and have had no serious problems with it.

Actually have had only one or two problems and they were because I was knowledgeable enough.  I would definitely buy a Dell again.... Maybe a laptop would be nice.

Bought my Dell from Walmart for under $500.00 in March and I am extremely happy with it. I havent had any issues or complaints..

Dell inspiron 530 desktop computer is the best computer ive owned yet. I give it a two thumbs up...
