Pros: You Get Just What You Want, Fair Price Cons: None Thus Far

Pros: Good price, packaging, and software. Excellent Options. Cons: Loaded with lots of stuff from Dell. 4300 not that much more expensive.
Ordering a Dell 4100 series was my first time ordering a non-server business machine for an office environment. I was familiar with the Dell web page, but selecting this machine was confusing since there seems to be an overlap with the 4100 and the...

I have always built my own machines, dating back to the days of my first 286, and have generally saved a lot of money that way, if not time. That's because when something doesn't work, YOU have to do the digging around on the web for information, and...

Dell Dimension 4100 Series

Pros: Owners' forum, speed, price, warranty. Cons: no graphic card applications, slow modem, no Dell solutions
I can't believe previous reviewers discussed Dell and omitted Delltalk. What's Delltalk? It's the owners' forum where every bug in every Dell pc ever made has been discussed, and most cured BY OWNERS THEMSELVES. Try to wait until the end, but if you...
Pros: Once fixed it runs pretty smoothly Cons: Comes with ME, even though it was designed for 98, & 2000.
Being the youngest son of our family I evidentally was appointed to be the "computer" child. If the VCR is flashing 12:00, I get to fix it, if the computer crashes, I get to fix it. Unfortunately for some reason when we purchase a new computer my input...
Pros: Fast CPU, decent amout of RAM Cons: Stingy Hard Drive Size, Limited Expansion Capability
The Dell Dimension 4100 provides ample computing power, backed up by Dell's solid reputation for service and support, at the reasonable direct price of $1,298. To sweeten the deal, Dell's currently throwing in a free CD-RW drive with the 4100.

I received my Dell Dimension 4100 9/7/00. It was very easy to set up, and I could hardly wait to get started. I expected the noisy fan, and I did get one, although it was a tolerable but distracting noise. Dell arranged for a technician to come to my...

One of my colleague got a Dell Dimension 4100 the other day. He really wanted a high profile machine by DELL, but he could spent $2000 from the company expense. As you may know, there are some machine by Dell under $2000 which is well categorized into...

The order for my Dell was placed on Monday, it shipped on Wednesday, arrived on Thursday (and I didn't pay any extra shipping costs, just the standard rate). Pleasant suprise #1.

When I first decided to buy my Dell, the integral use for it was for playing games. I already had a friend who had a Dell (pIII 750), and had played on his computer for hours... I got hooked! I just had to get one. So... I went online to order my...
Pros: Industry -leading quality & support, ease of set up-- what else is there? Cons: The occasional "new" tech at support
I'm commenting on the Dell 4100 owned by my sister. I actually talked her into it after having such a good experience with my now "old" XPST-450 (purchased Nov.'99). It came with P3 CPU 850mhz,40 GB HD, ergonomic keyboard, 17" monitor, DVD, CD-RW,...

I work professional with computers, so I use them all day, and at home as well. This 933MHz Dell 4100 was purchased for home, and gets used almost every day.
Purchasing from Dell, was a snap. I ordered the machine on friday at about 3PM, and...
Pros: Speed, peripherals, monitor, price Cons: Works
We needed to upgrade some computers for speed. Since our network is a Win2000 Server, with all Win98 machines we looked for a Win98 machine or two to add to that setup. We'd tried Gateway the last two times we bought things, but their service has...

Me and wife for years have had a IBM Aptiva 75mhz computer. Yes even in this day and age we were still running under 100mhz in the 600-700 mhz era. We caught ourselves always looking at new computers, and wanting one, but we never did due to the fact...
Pros: Has proven dependable Cons: Tech support requires more training
I ordered my Dell Dimension 4100 in September 2000. I was very surprised by the 3rd day after ordering delivery. Its a shame that Dell hasn't been quite that fast responding to some problems I've had. However, it was quite easy to set it up, although I...
Pros: Quality, performance, value, warranty, speedy delivery Cons: annoying fan
I am writing this review on my 2 day old Dell Dimension 4100 and have put in heavy enough use to give my first impressions.

For a long time I have been wanting to purchase a new computer (my 133 MHz, 16 MB Ram computer was getting a little outdated:)) so my friend told me that Dell was the way to go. I went to their site, www.dell.com, and was amazed at the simplicity of the...
Pros: Easy set up, fast, professional machine Cons: none
I just received my new Dell 4100 yesterday! I ordered the system on December 24, and it arrived at my boyfriend’s office on January 3. Not bad for ordering and shipping during the holidays.

Pros: Tight Architecture, Excellent Purchase Experience, Best Technical Support Cons: Not Available through Retail

I was just about to enter my major classes in Information Systems and needed something a little more advanced and better equipped than my old HP Vectra. It was a good computer, but only had 34MB of RAM, a P100 chip, and a slow CD Drive. I don't like to...

I recently purchased a Dell 8100 system, after carefully considering the 4100.
Why? The 8100 was less than $100 more! And after factoring in the Dell rebate it was slightly cheaper. Note: I checked today and Dell has dropped the rebate ($150...
Pros: powerful machine, custom-built, good for graphic designers Cons: wrong advice from tech support unnecessarily cost me time
Let me start off by saying I've been using both Macs and PCs for ten years now. But this review is not yet another tiresome comparision of Mac and PC operating systems--you can breathe a sigh of relief now. It is a review of my experience, as a...

I want to start right off saying that I've had my new Dell 4100 (800 MGh) for 6 days now. It came just as I ordered it, all the right parts, all the right stuff. It came well before the date they had told me to expect it which was a very nice bonus :)...

As a webmaster, both in my day job and in my business, I know the importance of being cross-platform. If you're a professional and you're not testing on both Macs and PCs, you're asking for trouble. I have owned Macs since 1988 and do almost all my Web...
Pros: Pretty simple to set up and use. Cons: Horrible customer service.
As my father had helped to acquire a Dell Latitude laptop during my last year of college, and had continued researching their products through the following years, it only seemed fitting that he would be a repeat customer when his desktop was destroyed...

Pros: Easy Online order process, well built product, GREAT incentives. Cons: All of the hardware was shipped separately, not a big con but a pain.
Computers are in every aspect of my life. I work on them at work, I work on them at home and I even have one that helps me tune my race bike. I depend on them to make my life easier. I have used computers from Apple, IBM, Compaq, Gateway and Dell....
I was looking to replace my Gateway Pentium II which I had just sold.
I actually bought a refurbished unit as I needed a computer fast.

WOW! I had no idea what I was missing!
Here I am putting around on my dino computer thinking im just fine. I had cable modem, which made my system faster then it would normally be. It originally had a 133 mhz processor, 2.6 gig harddrive and 16...
Pros: GREAT PACKING. EVERYTHING WAS THERE! A-OK OUT OF THE BOX. Cons: CUSTOMER SERVICE..BUT WHO **has** GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE NOW??? SO..THIS DOESN'T COUNT AT ALL.
After owning an HP Pavillion Celeron 500MHz and suffering through the truly worst customer service AND computer performance, my Dell 4100 was a dream. Sure some customer service reps were ignorant but some were quite good. Customer service is so bad...
Pros: Simple setup, powerful processor and great support. Built to order. Cons: You must buy either online or by phone. No physical stores (not a real con).
The 4100 series is a very good computer for anyone looking to do everyday tasks like word processing or e-mail. Also, with the option PIII at up to 1.0GHz its not bad for the power user with a limited budget. However, if your a passionate gamer, crazy...
Pros: Fast and reasonably priced Cons: A DVD and CD-RW standard would be great

Pros: Power and quality at a competitive Price Cons: Waiting for it to ship. And I wish it had two more USB ports
I bought the 4100 after looking at every major brand. I compared apples to apples and decided the Dell gave me the flexibility to really configure it to my needs. I bought mine with the 17" monitor, 40 gig HD, DVD and CD-RW and 128 meg of Ram. Just...
I bought a Dell 4100 series computer about a month ago. It has an fast 800mhz Pentium 3 processor, 64MB ram, 10GB hard drive, and a large 19" monitor. I highly recommend this computer because of the great value and customer service offered by...
Pros: Was great, while it worked Cons: Has not worked for 2 months
When I got a Dell Dimension 4100 last August for school (I am a student at BU), it was because they are reasonably priced and my father's office has had pretty good luck with the Dell computers they have bought over the last few years. This past May,...

We recently bought a Dell 4100 series computer with a 866mhz Pentium III chip. It has been an excellent computer so far.
At about $1,000, it is well worth the price. The computer was delivered on time (all the parts came within a day of each...
I purchased this computer based on PCWorld (and others') reviews.
People looking for RELIABLE computers with good support should consider Dell, and those looking for reasonably priced high performance machines should consider the 4100 series. ...
Pros: Reliable system at a price I could manage :) Cons: Customer Service bombed on a related promotional item :(
In short, I bought a new system - my first ever - and the online order process was wonderful. I'm the type of person who needs the line-by-line price breakout I was able to find on dell4me.com. I felt like I got exactly what I wanted & paid for. I...
Pros: Needs less service than "Pet Rock", EXCELLENT TECH SUPPORT!!! Cons: Dell is not in the ISP business.
After many long man hours of research, debate and discussion, 43 gallons of coffee and 1,423 bad words uttered at my old Packard Hell, I decided to go with Dell for the new PC. This just might have been the best decision I have ever made. This company...
Well I have had mine for about a month now....I have only had a few problems with it. My main concern was that it was not as fact as I expected it to be. Also my speakers broke after the first week. Come to find out they are not covered in my warrenty....

I'm a PC Technician and an IT profressional for a living. I have always built my own computer in the past, and once thought that I'd sooner have my house burn down before I purchased a pre-built computer. Well, money was an issue, I didn't have 2 grand...
"Best deal around"

I contacted Dell support, and they had to replace the motherboard 2 times, but...
Pros: cheap, useful and fun Cons: error messages (but those are caused by win 98)
I recently bought a Dell Dimension 4100 desktop computer to use in my dorm room at college. This computer is everything I could ever ask for! It's fast (800 mhz), useful (word processing programs), fun (Rewritable CD-ROM drive and 3D graphics card), and...
Pros: Solid performer Cons: Dell won't install a second hard drive
Purchased a 1 GHz 4100 series with all the bells & whistles. Really wanted to go with the top (XPS or "B") model but didn't think it was worth the extra $500 or so. About a week later I checked the price of the top-line model with the same...
I have a Dell 4100 series computer. As you can probably tell it is pretty reliable as I am writing this review from it right now. Dell machines have always been reliable. That's probably why they have been rated among the best in various PC magazines for...

I purchased a Dell 4100 series last January. I've had it for 6 months now and think I've broken it in enough to say that I am pleased with every aspect of it except for the windows ME. I seem to have a lot of freeze ups and error messages with the ME...
Pros: Versatile machine at affordable price! Cons: OK, so it is a bit buggy at times & tech support can be improved.
I own this machine & I love it. Of course, being the hardcore gamer that I am, I upgraded it at the time of customizing so it did cost a little more but it runs beautifully. If you play games or deal with graphics, make sure you upgrade the video card. I...
Pros: Simple set-up, reliable, reasonably priced. Cons: The Windows ME package I chose didn't include Excel.
I am a 41-year-old former technophobe - I had no real experience with computers outside of work-specific programs before, but I have been using my Dell Dimensions 4100 for 6 months, now. I took the product out of the box myself and set it up with ease,...

The Dell 4100 series computers have an 866 mhz Intel Pentium 3 processor. The computers are great for the kids to play on at home or for the adult to work on. I found that they seem do die a lot. They are a good computer for the cost. The computer is...

Pros: Dell will come to your house to fix it. Cons: Ouch!! The price.

Pros: Well built, fast, this computer has it all. Cons: None yet.
Besides from the fact that with dell, you're buying direct from the manufacturer, you also put the system together yourself, you tell them what you want in your computer and they build it. I have the 933 processor with Windows Me, 128 MB of RAM and a 20...
Pros: Fast, simple to set up, highly expandable. Cons: The case is a bit large.
This is nothing short of an excellent product. Nicely packaged, simple, fast, and so far (1 month), highly reliable. Dell shipped the thing about 7 days faster than the earliest expected lead time, and that was a very pleasant surprise. You can see...

I got my Dell 4100 around 6 months ago for $1400, which included a few upgrades like the extra 64 mb (128 total) to run Windows ME, and the 17" Sony flat screen monitor. It also came with a 933mhz Pentium III processor, lots of software and Harmon kardon...

Pros: Average product Cons: Poor service support, information hard to find/obtain
After reading all of the great ratings given Dell for its reliability and superior service, I foolishly took the bait. I also paid about a $300 premium for a Dell Dimension 4100 vs a competitive computer. There was no warning of the Windows ME OS...
Pros: It might make a good boat anchor. Cons: Constant crashes, no help from tech support
I bought my Dell 4100 with a 1 GHZ Pentium in April 2001. Out of the box, it crashed on me 3-4 time a day minimum. I reformated the hard drive and re-installed the operating system (Windows ME). The crashes continued and got to the point where I nearly...
Pros: great company built your way Cons: There isnt any
