Dell Dimension 4100 Series

Pros: Very fast, upgradable, great support, great price.
Cons: Windows ME.

About a week ago, my Dell Dimension 4100 was delivered to my doorstep 8 days after ordering online. The system would have been here earlier if it wasn't Christmas time. The inside packaging was very organized and everything I ordered online was added...

Pros: Speed, Configuration
Cons: Price

About two months ago, I was in the market to replace my aging Pentium 2 266MHz desktop computer. I had originally purchased my desktop from Quantex, and was satisfied by the product and was going to purchase from them again, until I heard that they were...

Pros: Great computer, Great hardware, Great service
Cons: More money than a Compaq (but worth it!)

Update Dec. '02: This computer is not sold as a new computer anymore because it is out-of-date with the Pentium 4 processor. But, with that said, it still is a very good computer for a college or high school student; it is just harder to find. Dell sells...

Pros: A good quality home computer.
Cons: A horrible operating system.

I bought my computer last fall, having decided that I needed a fast desktop system with a lot of memory. As a writer, these things are important, particularly when you're like me, and like to use your lack of technology as an excuse for not doing your...

Pros: Good, fast, and reliable system
Cons: It's a little quirky and kludgy.

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 :)...

Pros: Unbelieveable performance, great package, Unbeatable price!
Cons: Absolutely NONE!

I can say with all honesty I am 100% astounded on the quality of this computer, and the company tht made it.
I placed an order for a 1Ghz Dell Dimension 4100 on a Friday evening, and it was delivered on Tuesday at 9:00 am. WOW! Anyways, for the...

Pros: Flexible configuration, easy to order, great machine, great tech support
Cons: Loud fan, maddening standard software configuration

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: Great harddrive, good service--but little need for it!
Cons: Only 2 USB ports, none in front. Could have more PCI slots.

Machine: 866 mHz, 256MB, 45GB harddisk, 19inch monitor (P991)

My purchase and delivery experience was smooth. I've been using this machine since late July 2000 now, so I'll just summarise my experience to illustrate why I've found it to be a...

Pros: Fast, Stable, Easy to Use, Almost too good to be true!
Cons: 20 min wait for support, shipped without monitor power cable (fixed in 20 min)

I decided to purchase a Dell for two reasons: because of their great reputation and the fact that the company I work for swears by them and I've used one for 2 years with no problems. So far, I've been anything but disappointed. Everything from the...

Pros: Great display, thin and light, keyboard, excellent performance, affordable
Cons: Screen latch, no firewire, single USB

I purchased my Inspiron 4100 in December for work and I think having used it for a while I have finally figured out the pros and cons enough to write a review. The 4100 that I am reviewing has the following specs: 1 ghz P3-M processor, 256mb ram, 16mb...

Pros: Affordable, easy to customize, easy to use, runs perfectly.
Cons: Printer does not work with it. Customer service is deplorable.

When I started college, I wanted a reliable, fast computer that didn’t empty my parents’ bank account. My older sister had bought an e-machine two years earlier; the next year she replaced it with an HP computer because the e-machine was so horrible. I...

Pros: Dell Quality, Blazing Speed, Extremely Helpful Tech Support
Cons: Win ME conflict w/AOL and IE 5.5

I am proud to say that I own a Dell. I have waited over 2 years to get one. 2 years ago my dad bought me a computer from a rickety shack called "Compusave". The name alone should be enough to drive anyone away, and I was skeptical about the computers...

Pros: Great support, easy to use, a little fast, ideal for almost anyone
Cons: slow boot up, crashes a lot, a lot of errors

My dimension 4100 is a pretty good computer. But like most systems, it has it's weak points.

As far as performance, this is great. It definately is not the fastest, but it's fine with me. The boot up is fairly slow. I hate that. THe cd-rom...

Pros: Fast, powerful, very few troubles.
Cons: None that I can see.

I was in the market for my third computer. I had outgrown my 400MHz HP Pavilion and wanted to step up to something a little better... ok a lot better.

Enter DeLL...

First of all the service...
I ordered my Dimension 4100...
