Dell Dimension XPS T500

Pros: Reliable and durable, easy to use, excellent company web site
Cons: I haven't found any

This time last year, I was still using a Pentium 100 that I had built myself (with a lot of guidance from a friend who actually knew what he was doing)in 1996. I had completely outgrown this computer. I once thought that I would NEVER manage to fill up...

Pros: Good performance before it crapped out
Cons: The bloody thing isn't working and we can't figure out what's wrong

I must first state that I am not a computer expert. But my family does own a Dell Dimension XPS-T500 computer, with a 500-mhz Pentium III processor, 17-inch monitor, DVD-ROM drive, 128 meg RAM and all the other bells and whistles. The price as of last...

Pros: Amazing sound, video, support...
Cons: I can't marry it.

I own the Dell XPS T-500 this computer has exceeded all of my highest expectations. I ordered it for college, and they shipped it right to me. Now, the most important thing for me at this point is music. I put a CD into this computer, and I...

Pros: No smoke from the box yet
Cons: Poor video acceleration, slow hard disk, generally underwhelming performance.

I use this computer all day long and I swear it's the only thing standing between me and world domination. I'm amazed to find, year after year, that despite advances in processor technology, PCs running Windows don't get any faster. This Dell is a solid...

Pros: Great quality, tech support, ease of ordering exactly what you want
Cons: shipping time

I purchased my Dell about 6 months ago. My previous computer was a PackardHELL... nuff said.

I use a computer extensively at work and at home, however I am not any kind of an expert. I did a lot of comparison shopping prior to my purchase,...

Pros: support.dell.com really saved me a lot of time
Cons: only works if you don't customize your PC, you may need a second (functional) PC to access the web

I got yesterday in the situation where I needed to transfer my complete working environment from one machine to another. Both were Dell XPS xxx models, with the target being a T500.

After copying files, parts of the registry and more, my...

Pros: Excellent monitor, speakers and customer service
Cons: None

From our first experience with Dell, it was clear we were dealing with a company that was a cut above the rest. When my husband called to order the computer, he took the recommendation of a friend of his, who is a computer geek. The guy had recommended...

Pros: It's a DELL. Lower end of Pentium III's, making it a good deal.
Cons: Slow motherboard for today's technology.

I bought this computer (only my second DELL), in December of 1999. The Dimension XPS T series was DELL's top of the line product at that point. The fastest model was 700 MHz, but I chose the 500 MHz. Whenever purchasing a new computer...NEVER go with...

Pros: The system is the bomb!(excellent)
Cons: I am addicted now

I purchased my dell over the Internet about three months ago and I must admit I am one happy camper. I got a 450 MHz with a Pentium III processor. This puppy flies no other computer. I also got a seventeen inch monitor, which is Sony quality just with...

Pros: Great customer service, price, excellent computer performance
Cons: slow delivery, because of extra hardware, DVD and CDR

Just about 4 or 5 months ago I finally bought my college computer. I had been looking for a long time at the the most popular sites; Gateway and Dell, the two main competitors. They reason I looked at both those sites was because they both offered a...

Pros: Should be inexpensive now, Easy to upgrade!
Cons: Not for Overclockers

Although discontinued, the XPS T series still packs considerable punch!

The XPS T was my first Dell PC. Although Dell has replaced this venerable model with the 4100 series, the XPS T provides great value should you ever decide to purchase a...

Pros: Fast, Great Support, Easy setup, Plenty of ports
Cons: A little more expensive

I spent about 9 months researching computers before I decided on Dell. I'm a stay at home Mom with my own Craft business and I wanted a computer to give me a little freedom from the house and to build my Craft Website.

The list on why I...

Pros: GREAT TECHNICAL SUPPORT, EASY INSTALLATION
Cons: Should have bought a DELL years ago

In 1993, I bought a Japanese made 486DX2 66mHz (Yes, 66mHz!). At the time it was the fastest computer out there and I bought the set up for somewhere around $2,300 including a bubble jet printer. In 1996 I signed up for AOL's trial membership and then...

Pros: Dell is a trusted company
Cons: Sometimes they give out lemons

Great system - competitively priced - I checked the pricing against all the other majors and Dell won out because (1)their reputation for service etc (this has proved correct), (2) they don't charge sales tax in CA and (3) I own their stock!

I...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, good value
Cons: Still ugly Grey colour, not a Mac

I have been a Mac user for all of my life up until a few months ago when I started college. I was very reluctant to switch from a Mac to a PC, and had sworn that I never would. However I had to be realistic and to get the most "bang for my...
