Pros: Small tower, visually appealing, works great for small tasks Cons: None, other than the $140 shipping
I am technologically impaired. I honestly don’t have the first clue about computers, so if you are looking for a review on the Dell Dimension 4300 that is full of technical mumbo-jumbo, then you are reading the wrong review. I am the everyday Joe (ok,...
Pros: Very fast, customizable options, and sleek, modern look (black). Quiet (see below). Cons: Expensive, at least for me.
The last two computers I've owned have both been IBM's, which come as-is and typically combine most of the cards (sound, video, etc.) into the motherboard, which makes them difficult, if not impossible, to upgrade. I wanted a computer that I could choose...
Pros: Lots of Bang for the Buck, Easy to Expand Cons: Cooling Fan Noisy
Background:
I purchased my Dell back in November, almost 1 year after purchasing my previous Dell (L800). I was so happy with my L800 that I had no hesitations buying another Dell!
In the two months I've owned my new system, I've...
Pros: Inexpensive Pentium 4 PC with many high end options Cons: Replaced by the Dimension 4400
UPDATE: 1/31/2001: The Dimension 4400 has been out for some time. It is almost exactly the same as the 4300, except it uses PC2100 DDR-SDRAM instead of PC133 SDRAM. I would highly recommend the 4400 over the 4300, as the cost difference is minimal and...
BASICS
I don't normally buy from the consumer line of computers because the testing is less rigorous and the changes often come faster than tech support can keep pace. I set low expectations with this purchase, and I have been pleasantly...
Pros: Very quiet, inexpensive, and fast for the home user. Cons: Win XP does not provide driver support for my parallel port, flatbed scanner.
I recently purchased the following: the Dell 4300s with a 1.4 GHz P4 processor, 128 MB SDRAM, 20 G hardrive, 17 in (.26 dpi) monitor, the 16x/10x/40x cd-rw drive, Harman Kardon speakers, 56 K modem and a 16 MB ATI Rage Ultra 4x AGP video card.
...
Pros: Affordable, quiet, and clean. A great mate for WinXP. Not bleeding edge. Cons: Not bleeding edge. Older architecture might be strained in a few years.
Product lines are tricky things for buyers and sellers alike. Mess up--on either end--and you are out a lot of cash. With the 4300, Dell very nearly commits the cardinal sin of stepping all over its flagship, the 8200 line. What buyers have to do, is...
Pros: Great price, power, speed, and reliability. Cons: pretty lame tech support.
This is a great computer for the avg home user who is looking for a top of the line computer. A concern I have though, is that ever since I got this computer, I've tried to install some accesories (ie. scanner, cd-r, etc.), and ran into some small...
Pros: Looks nice, good price, fine hardware Cons: Harddrive malfunction
I had had my 4300 for a couple months, when all of a sudden the computer refused to boot. After many hours on the phone with Dell, they diagnosed it as a broken motherboard. Despited having purchased "next day support", in two days a technician (some...
Pros: Big bang for the buck, Quiet, Plenty of bonuses Cons: Dell customer support is horrible, excess programs aren't needed
I was off to college and I took the family compaq hostage with me. Too bad I destroyed the compaq to build a powerhouse of a computer. Anyway, my family at home was left without a computer and my sister had to do her middle school homework. Going to...
Pros: Affordable,easy to use,expandable, fun to use, fast Cons: keyboard locks, monitor problems, everything views through windows explorer
I purchased a Dell Dimension 4300 series desktop in Dec.2001. I used their online site to customize and purchase my pc. Their site was easy to use and fairly quick. I received my pc very quickly (2-3weeks) Below are the specific specifications:
...
Pros: It's fast, fun, and it's a DELL! Cons: None!
OK! I wanted yet another Dell, so I used DELL.com to price one out. After messing around with all the options for a couple of hours, I decided what I wanted. I use Dells EPP buy program becuase I get %15 becuase of where I work. But I called them up,...
I currently use this machine for my everyday work and I have found it to be sleek, attractive, and functional. It wavers on speed occasionally, but overall it was a wise purchase from an excellent computer maker. I purchased mine on QVC, though my...
Pros: Fast P4 processor, great bundled software, low price Cons: Not enough RAM, bad video card
My family bought a Dell 4300 this past Christmas, and it was about time after owning a Compaq for over 3 years. It instantly supercharged all of my programs, and the included Windows XP Home Edition made everything much simpler. The system also includes...
Pros: The Dell name, quality machinery Cons: Customer support, lame e mail responses
I got mine for just under $850 shipped. It has windows XP which gave me some fits. XP is not compatible with many flatbed parellel port scanners. Even attempting to update drivers will not work. Also XP doesnt handle yahoo messenger that well.
As...
Pros: Great bang for the buck. Well Constructed. Stable. Cons: None
I have been using my Dell 4300 for about a month now. I do a lot of net surfing, and a bit of gaming. I do Civil Engineering work for a living and wanted a machine that would keep up with Autocad and Engineering software. Yes, the 8200 series is...
Pros: Easy to use and set-up Cons: Hard drive takes a lot of room on a desktop
This is the best computer I've ever used in my life (and I've used a lot). I bought this computer when I went to college. It was incredibly easy to set up even for people who are clueless about computers. Dell puts colors on all of the cords and you...
Pros: Great case & color. Overall a nice computer for inexperienced users. Cons: Terrible support, cheap no-name hardware.
This will be short and to the point. This is a good computer if you are looking for something inexpensive and easy to use. If you are new to computers, but have friends who are technically inclined, ignore the rest of this review and buy the computer....
Pros: Dell is a name in computers that you can trust Cons: None
Before I give you the specifications on the 4300s,let me share with you a few thoughts on buying a computer.First you should decide just what you want to do with your computer.Are you going to use it for home or Business.Most people that buy computers...
Pros: Great Hardware, Fast CPU, Lots of Memory, Great Price, and more! Cons: Loud Fan and Large Case
When my Gateway 2000 computer became outdated, I was in the search for a new computer. This new one had to be the fastest and have the most features. I turned to Dell for my computer needs, and I was VERY glad I did!
Pros: Best power for price point Cons: Can be a little wacky out of the box when installing legacy apps.
We provide our home office customers with the best computer for their dollar. The 4300 has the most power per dollar of a brand name that I could find. The installation is a snap and the expandability of the tower makes it a long time keeper. It is...
Pros: Very Fast(Intell 4), DVD&CD Burner Combo, Huge Memory, Great for Games, upgradable Cons: Came with windows XP (glitches), too fast for a 56k connection
I bought this computer about 3 months ago and have loved it ever since. I customized it on the dell4me.com website and got the best stuff I could get for about $1500.
I decided to get the 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium 4, 256MB RAM, DVD/CD-R Combo Drive,...
