After 13 years of faithful service, my HP tower finally bit the dust.  I'm not willing to go full laptop/tablet mode yet, so looking for a replacement desktop, I settled on this Del - it's actually the first Dell product I've ever owned.The box itself is sleek looking, and at about 1/2 the size of the tower it's replacing, it does free up some valuable desktop space.Most of the connections are sturdy enough, but the DVD/R-W drawer is fairly flimsy compared to those on older hardware. I guess I should be thankful I was able to find a computer with a disc drive at all (ha-ha).The included wired keyboard and mouse are really bare bones, but they will do if you're on a budget, and personally, I planned to swap them out with a nicer wireless setup.I appreciated the fact that this computer came with an HDMI port - I was able to re-purpose my old HDMI monitor, which is still working fine (of course, there are no monitor cables supplied).I bought this computer in early 2020, and if you are reading the old posts where some people complain that the Win 10 Pro OS was loaded on the disk drive, I think it's a save bet to assume that if you buy this model new, the OS will be on the SSD (mine is). Boot time won't break records, yet is reasonably fast enough,  IMHOP.This computer has an I5 processor, 12 Gb RAM and 1Tb storage  (along with the small SSD), so it will quite easily handle what I'm using it for - work related tasks, web browsing, email, other basic household computing requirements.  I am not using it as a media hub, and if your gaming needs exceed solitaire, you will want to look elsewhere...Why four stars?  Well, if you don't know much about setting up desktop computers, you may be a bit bewildered opening the box.  Only a tiny set up document is included  (there's a much nicer Setup pdf on the Dell support site along with a service manual). Previous boxes I've bought (primarily from HP) provided better set-up documentation.  Again, this heads up is for people that aren't all that comfortable doing hardware set ups - this won't be an issue for experienced users.Anyway, I'll change my review if needed, but so far this is a good "home base" computer that will hopefully last as long as my old one...  :)
