rosiern says "64 Bit Nightmare" about Dell XPS 400

rosiern — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:58:16 GMT

Two months ago, I received my third Dell desk top computer.It's a XPS Studio 420. I custom ordered it, including making it a 64 bit for better graphics. Big mistake! Almost every program I have downloaded, has turned out to not be compatible wth 64 bit. It would be helpful if programs would have that fact listed with the download requirements. Very few state they only work with 32 bit...for now. That's irritating enough, but the program causes my computer to malfunction, which results with me online with tech support for a couple of hours. They have to take control of my computer, to rid my computer of the offending program. Plus, they always make other changes to my computer.

In all probability within the next two years, most if not all, new computers will come with 64 bit. Hopefully by then, most programs will be compatible with it. The grapics are better than on 32 bit computers. I wish I had known about the compatibility issues prior to purchasing this computer. Because of the frequent aggravation...

Got this computer a few years ago and it is going strong. Managed to get a discount on it, which made it an even better purchase. I like that you can customize the computer when you order from Dell, which means I got what I wanted without having to pay for different things that I didn't want. I did make a mistake when I ordered this computer, though. I tried to be as cheap as possible and I decided to go with the standard speakers instead of upgrading. That was a mistake. I like to listen to a radio show that is broadcasted on the internet and the standard speakers don't have enough volume or quality to suit me, and I'm not one of those never satisfied people! Now to get the better speakers it would cost a lot more, since Dell offers discounts when you bundle things together. Also, with the age of the computer it is almost time to upgrade. Overall I was happy with this one. I have heard Dell horror stories from some of my friends about ordering issues, but I was happy.

My last computer I had for 5+ years and it was sooooo slow. When it came time for the new one, I wanted to stick with dell because you can customize. I just received the new xps420 and totally love it. Vista is not a problem navigating, the computer is so smooth and nice looking and I love how much faster it is. Also, the shipping was super fast and I had my computer in a week! Would totally recommend....

lizskaggs says "worth the money" about Dell XPS 400

I have had several compact computers which bit the dust way too soon. The last one I bought lasted only 1 yr, so I checked out dell. The best idea I ever had. I got a great deal , great service, and a great computer. From now on I will stick with dell as they are great at helping you with anything you may need and giving you real time response and making sure you are satisfied. The xps 400 is great for playing games and just about anything you want to do. It is very efficient and compact so it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. I would definitely purchase this model again and have recommended it to all of my friends and family.

Judy0309 says "Good for low end gaming" about Dell XPS 400

We have 2 Dells in the house. My Son has the XPS 400. We got that one to test Dells service, and gaming capabilities. Even though it is a low end gaming computer, it has worked pretty well. My son needs a higher end one now, but he can play Halo 2 online, with only 1 gig 533mhz memory, so that's a plus. We upgraded the video card though. I'd say the power supply is too low for any further upgrades in that area. Next upgrade is the memory. I'd recommend getting that when you order, but I think they are discontinued now.

Overall, it's a pretty good computer, and Dell service is very good, if you have patience. Just remember to call Tech services before anything.

I bought this computer last fall. It's really fast, graphics are great. It's also a beauty. When I upgraded to Vista it still did not slow it down. This is my 2nd dell computer, this one is really reliable and I never had any problems with it. It was a great value too....

daria1009 says "love my Dell" about Dell XPS 400

Have Dell desktop and got new laptop this year. Love them both - would not trade for anything. Reasonably priced for what you get. Easy to add memory, etc. Have souped up both models I own and that happens real easy. Used to own an HP - it crashed - good thing I bought it at Best Buy and got the extended warranty. Needed new hard drive - want to just donate it to my friends senior citizen mom who will only use it for word processing - don't have any use for that one anymore, no how. Give me my Dell's anytime. ...
