Even though we had a good UPS with a surge protector, our desktop PC suffered some fatal damage when lightning struck a tree about 50' from our house.  Our computer guy doesn't sell stuff and he would not recommend a brand, but he did say that he absolutely loved solid state drives.  So, after quite a bit of research, we settled on this Dell desktop.First, this thing is tiny!  About 7" x 7" x 1.5".  Yes, I read the stats, but until you actually see it and hold it, it's hard to imagine how small it really is.Second, it is quiet.  The old desktop had a fan--a quiet one--but it still made some noise.  Nothing with the new unit.  So nice.And this unit is fast!  Everything starts and loads seemingly instantly.  Love, love, love that!So, as should be obvious, we are very, very happy with this unit and would certainly recommend it to others.  And, yes, our computer guy is looking at buying several to upgrade his workspace.  That tells me a lot.
