Dell still makes a solid machine!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for a client of mine, and after 30 years of playing with computers, I still think Dell makes a superior computer, and this lightweight Inspiron is no exception. There is almost no more inside than a laptop, but components are well-matched for speed and reliability. If they would just bring back their customer support to the US, I'd recommend them even more. Just hope it won't break!

I've been using Netgear for years, but a client insisted on Linksys, and it was a breeze to setup, the interface is easy to figure out, navigate, and tweak. Now let's see how long it lasts!

I started using CyberPower UPS's about 10 years ago, replacing the other known brand, and haven't looked back yet. Fewer battery problems, I really like the associated software, and they last longer.

I've settled on Netgear as the only wireless components I'd rather use (except mesh products). This is the perfect "average" router for a medium-sized home or small business.

Nice thin bezel, bright colors, but not very white
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: gz2313
from Tulsa, OK
Verified Purchase:Yes
The base is sturdy (doesn't shake much), the power light isn't too bright, changes sources fairly well (I do it a lot), the glossy surface isn't too reflective, and the colors are bright and crisp, but it just doesn't seem to get whites perfectly correct, even trying it's own color balancer, and the one built into Windows. Getting videos bright enough with colors correct is tricky, but overall, I like the size, and the thin bezel and short depth.

Blazing fast, completely reliable

Posted by: gz2313
from Tulsa, OK
Verified Purchase:Yes
Over the years, I've found that certain brands make certain items better than others. Some make better hard drives, others USB drives, but after reading a lot of reviews and benchmarks, I found the EVO 850 gives the most bang for your buck, and this 500 doesn't disappoint. Before, I had 2 120GB SSD's in RAID 1, but this one is definitely faster. I'm glad I spent a little more to get a lot better.

I've trusted WD drives for years, having seen too many other brands fail too early, or too many times. With the USB 3.0 speeds and the included backup software, this is a hit in my humble opinion, having worked with hard drives for over 30 years.

I've been using Netgear exclusively for years because of their reliability, and this product is a great example. I got it for a client in an older home, with old wiring and lathe/stucco walls. His older extender dropped signals, and he hasn't lost any since I installed this one.

Can win 7 be installed on this machine. I know it preloaded with win 10

Can this use the same SSID as my existing router?
So i won't have to change networks on devices when the signal gets weak as I move away from the main router.
The short answer is no. You'll have to manually change to "(SSID)-ext", or trust your device to switch. There is a Ubiquiti product that will seamlessly carry the same signal to any length, but they're expensive, and tricky to install.

Does it has capability to click on hyperlinks in slides?

HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer: Print 2-sided documents, scan directly to your e-mail, make copies efficiently, quickly send faxes and more using this e-all-in-one printer. You can connect to your PC or Mac via built-in Wi-Fi or the Ethernet LAN or print directly from your compatible mobile device with HP ePrint.
Will this printer run with Microsoft XP pro?
The best way to find if any printer will work with your operating system, is to look on their website. HP is easy to look up. Go to their support page, look for drivers downloads, type in the model number, and match the operating system. If it doesn't show XP (or whatever os), it won't work.

Will a backup be compatible with windows 10?
If I backup windows 7 system and and change over to windows 10 will everything be compatible?
Assuming you're talking a Windows backup, then yes. And any other program you might use to backup your data, should be compatible in Win10.

does the system support Raid 1
want to mirror the HD with a second one, since my last pc I lost everything with a hd fail (and auto back up fail).
If you haven't (or don't know how to) checked the BIOS for RAID capability, then you probably better not, or let someone check, and set it up for you. Most later Dell's have the RAID option, with plenty of SATA connectors on the motherboard, therefore, go for it.

can you use 2 monitors with this tower?
Does this tower have the ability to run 2 monitors, it has a VGA output and HDMI output.
Yes! Even if the graphics connectors aren't both internal or external, the BIOS will make you hit F1 to continue, and Windows will let you extend your display to both monitors. Why not get extreme, and add a Graphics card (if the PCI-ex slot is open), and use 4 monitors?

I have a Linksys WRT160 wireless router do I need to upgrade?
Here's a perfect rule of thumb: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." If your devices have a strong enough signal, so that the don't drop out, or buffer videos, then the router is doing the job you need. BestBuy is so great about accepting returns without a hassle, if you need a better router, go to the next higher range, and if it still doesn't meet your needs, upgrade again.

what do I need to purchase to get wi-fi to work with my sudden link cable network
I bought a Motorola surfboard S86121 and a belkin 598 and have had problems ever since I got them hooked up.
First, from my humble 30 years experience, I'd say to get rid of the Belkin, and get a Netgear wireless router. Then make sure you connect everything in correct order, then reboot the modem, the router, then maybe the computer.

Windows 8.1
I tried Win 8.1. It was a refurbished unit from Walmart and I returned it. Is it necessary to need a Microsoft address in order to use the computer. I share my computer with the family and having to give out the password on a private email address so others can use the computer is not comfortable to say the least. Can this be bypassed. I'm wanting to buy another computer, but this time from Best Buy.
Yes, and no! You have to create a Microsoft account, and use the account for administrative tasks, but you can also create a "local account" for each user (or just one for everyone), which won't need your password. That way, normal everyday usage won't require a password, and you they can ask you to plug in your password to do things that might require your approval.
