Fast. Easy setup.
Pros: windows 7, easy setup, fast / fast / fast, bright sharp monitor
Cons: none i can think of
Model Number: XPS 8500
"I was replacing a similar Dell XPS desktop with a 22" display (3 1/2 years old). The setup of this machine was very easy. I used the Windows Easy Transfer over a network, and it worked very well, transferring all my data and most of my settings. Also it gave a list of programs that needed to be reinstalled. Sure wish I'd used that on my last new PC setup.
The XPS screams! My previous one had an i7 processor, but was a first generation processor. Also, this XPS has much more memory and a larger hard drive.
I've already done quite a bit of photo editing, and I must say that it's noticably faster. Now, I know that my older one needed to be rebuilt [again] as it was slowing down some, but this one is much faster than the other one was when new.
I bought this desktop as a hedge against buying Windows 8 -- the older XPS had been around for several years, and when it dies, I didn't want to be FORCED into Windows 8, so I bought this Windows 7 machine.
I am totally pleased with it!"

Mediocre at best
Pros: all in one package, costco is the best!
Cons: cheap quality parts
Model Number: XPS 8500 I3700
"I just purchased this computer and I have to say it was NOT worth the money. The system is a lot cheaper from Costco then from Dell, but the quality of the components are not that great. Luckily this system was purchased for work and not anything else. Consider building your own PC with parts that are not bottom of the line and over priced.
Do yourself a favor and add a SSD if you want fast boot."

Great, needs better cable included
Pros: great setup / combo
Cons: substandard non hd cable for the monitor
Model Number: Dell XPS™ 8500 Desktop Intel® Core™ i7-3770 3.40GHz Windows 7 Professional Blu-Ray
"Dell XPS™ 8500 Desktop Intel® Core™ i7-3770 3.40GHz Windows 7 Professional Blu-Ray
Great comuter! Easy to set up and get working right
For the HD monitor - needs a HD cable but not included. It has a cheap non HD cable. Why go cheap on that?
Otherwise no complaints at all with the setup."

Super Fast!
Pros: fast and inexpensive
Cons: needs a bigger video card. more memory. 2-3gb.
Model Number: Dell XPS 8500 Desktop
"Fast computer. I use Solidworks 2012. It's a solid modeling CAD program to design anything mechanical. So far it's 10X faster than my work desktop using the same software. If the price fits you, go ahead and get it. You won't be dissapointed. Jerry"
