Inspiron 3030s Small Desktop - Intel Core i5-14400 Processor, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB SSD, Intel UHD 730 Graphics, Windows 11 Home, Onsite & Dell Migrate Support - Mist Blue

Great computer that meets all of our home and office needs easily.

Works for me.

Fast and easy setup, just followed the prompts and was up and running. Loaded fast and easily ran some older greeting software and gave me a free version of office. Love it!

This little dynamo boots up almost instantaneously and switches between programs quickly. Great speed for internet browsing, email and office applications (i5 14400 processor). It runs incredibly quiet and cool with the solid-state hard drive. This computer has the respected Dell name on it and Dell support behind it. The compact case frees up space and has a pleasant cobalt blue face plate. The wireless capability eliminates the need to run a cable to your printer. I was caught off guard by the change to what I considered standard ports. It has been a while since I bought a new desktop unit. There are plenty of USB ports with 4 on the back (2-2.0 and 2-SS 3.0) plus 4 on the front (2-2.0, 1-SS 3.0 and 1 USB C). Other ports on the back are 1 Display port (no VGA port), 1 HDMI port and 1 ethernet port. Additionally, there is only 1 "power jack port" on the back for use with external speakers or external drives. I was forced to buy a new HDMI to VGA cable to connect my monitor. There is no DVD drive although there is a knockout where an internal DVD drive would be mounted. I browsed the internet, but I could not find a Dell drive to fit this knockout. Some have been able to install an off brand slim fit drive. I rarely use the DVD drive, but it in was comforting to have one available. The included keyboard and mouse are kind of "entry level" but they do get the job done. I chose to use my wireless keyboard and mouse instead. I am not a fan of CHANGE in general, but I am growing fond of this small box that packs all the power I need.

Dell has always been the brand I've used. It's always been reliable and has lasted for almost 10 years with no problems. I'm still working on getting all my info transferred from my old computer. Dell Migrate didn't work as expected - it only transferred some of my information, no documents and no photos. I was worried about the color "mist blue" - 99% of the it is black with just the front cover being "mist blue" - more gray than blue. And it is advertised as the small desktop, it is regular size. I can live with those discrepencies, so not a problem. I feel positive that it will perform as well if not better than all my previous Dell computers. Price was very reasonable.

I have had this about a year now and works great!

Does the job. Set up can’t get any easier even for a non computer wise 70yr old lady.

I wanted a small desktop computer. This computer was recommended to me by an IT person. Very happy with the purchase. It was exactly what I wanted, and not too hard to set up. Just go online to read how to set it up.
