The Dell Inspiron, mini desktop computer, runs smooth from the start up and seems pretty fast. The SSD certainly helps give things a boost. The 8MB of RAM is probably the poorest decision on the whole for this system, even more if you want to use it for gaming. It would need an upgrade to 16 at least. But if you are casual, for business or online use, then it runs fairly perfect without adding too much stress to it. You get a full terabyte hard drive space, which is plenty of room to use. The speed is nice and promptly boots up. Navigating from program to program is flawless. You will need a monitor for this as it only comes with mouse and keyboard. All other peripherals are extra. Overall, I like the size of the desktop as its small and can sit above or below the desk. I like the speed and the hard disk space, and the addition of the SSD drive makes it for faster use. But in the long run, the 8GB of RAM will be its thorn.
