Pros: Quality product, excellent parts, sound design, worth the money Cons: Read below for details
Dell is another of my favorite computer manufacturers. They make high quality computers and they don't leave you hanging to buy a monitor or speakers. Their computers are all sold with everything you need to get up and running in no time. The question...
Pros: Great System Cons: Doesn't Stay State of the Art Forever
So You Want a Desktop Computer
The Dell Dimension w/DVD is an excellent desktop computer. I would recommend this line of computers although not necessarily this specific model. The main reason for schizophrenic rating is that when I...
Pros: fast and reliable, great parts, tech support, and warranty Cons: expensive, low-quality speakers
This review contains an in-depth list of the pros and cons that come along with the Dell Dimension XPS T600 package. In my opinion, Dell is THE BEST computer manufacturing company unless you have the resources to build your own PC. Enjoy the...
Pros: Very easy to use, reliable, fast. Cons: Nothing that wasn't resolved quickly.
I purchased a Gateway laptop in the fall of 1998 for graduate school. What a mistake. The hard drive was a lemon from the start. Gateway was good with its customer service, but product reliability... it hasn't got. I quickly learned from my mistake,...
Pros: Top of the line, all my friends are (still) jealous. Cons: Hours of my life wasted on hold, and they shouldn't hire temp support, even during peak periods, to take down personal information.
I received my new Dimension T600 a few days ago. I've been trying to buy this computer for about a month now. We started out looking at Dell's web site. We customized the system we wanted at the web site with was very useful. Since our old computer broke...
Pros: Speed, power, great ordering, great support, good price Cons: Ships with a WinModem
I purchases a Dell Dimension T600 w/DVD online. The ordering and customization was a breeze. I opted to upgrade the video card, speakers, and add in a CD-RW drive. The machine arrived in 3 business days, actually shipping the day after I ordered it. I...
I bought a dell computer because dell is known to be a good computer system. The computer is very nice looking, has a lot of power and very upgradable. I paid about 1,500 for the system. The computer is very fast and runs very smooth with no problem that...
Pros: Pretty unit Cons: Glitches galore; Poor response from Dell
I was excited to order (with the 10% employee discount from my employer) a new Dell Dimension XPS T600. It came as I ordered it (within the limitations dictated by the plan assigned to University employees). I ordered a unit with 512 RAM, 27 GB hard...
Pros: great tech support, very customizable and upgradeable Cons: Financing is a joke, dont pay for the two day delivery
I've been building my own computers for the last few years, but finally decided to let someone else deal with my worries. So what did I do? I did what any person would do...searched the internet for good deals. Of course it helps to know what you want...
Shopping for a computer can be a tedious task. After clicking on www.Dell.com everything came a breeze. Dell is superior to other computer desktop retailers, but comes with a price. The computer I received is stacked with...
Pros: Lightening fast with superior quality Cons: NON AT ALL
If you are about to buy this, then get ready to get rid of all the choppy sounds and graphics of your old computer. The Dell XPS 600 computer system is incredible. I have the same one, except 550 mhz instead of 600. I am very impressed with the...
Pros: Company reliability and quality of merchandise Cons: Better documentation is a consideration
I looked long and hard when selecting my newest desktop. I was sick and tired of buying the "economy" range models and had accumulated a sufficiency of liquid capital to purchase whatever I wished... I visited a veritible plethora of home pages...
Pros: Fast, Lots of memory, reliable Cons: Kinda expensive
My brother, who knows a lot about computers, ordered this computer about 6 months ago. And I have been in love with it ever since. First of all it is extremely fast. I have 500 mHz! It is also huge, I mean I have over 20 gig a bites! Unlike my old...
Pros: Excellent and easy to use online build your own ordering system. Online build your own ensures all items are compatible and will prompt user when there is a conflict. Cons: After 10 days, when I logged on to check the progress (or lack of) of my computer on line, the item was still in the processing stage (step 1) with a notice to contact my sales representative (who greeted me with an e-mail the first day of my order). She

Pros: Fast Computing, Great price, A+ Service Cons: Never had a lick of trouble!
I usually research heavily before buying a new computer with the famed computer shopper. I always call and compare and just shop in general. Dell has won the last 3 times in a row. I have recommended this computer system to all my friends and family...
Speed, yes and lots of it. My last computer could not even compare to this wonderful Dell Pentium 600 Mhz. My husband and I bought it over the internet two weeks ago. The price was right for one thing. But, we added the DVD player to this model and it is...
Pros: speed, lots of memory, and this funny little game called solitaire Cons: won't write history papers for me
So, besides having to wait for over a month to get my computer after I ordered it, and the fact that I had to enlist help to get it to work when it didn't work when I got it (see my review on Dell computers in general for the complete story), this...
This is my second Dell desktop and after having my first for nearly four years, I am sure a Dell of this Calibur will be with me for almost double that.
First off, going to Dell.com and customizing the model I wanted was a cinch, but if you...
Pros: Its fast, easy and brings fun back to the computer Cons: Every computer has a con, after you buy it, a new better computer comes out in 2 weeks :-)
This Dell is a great computer. It's pentium 3 is great and it's 20 g of space allows you to get MP3's and pictures and games and allow you to have fun again. This Dell has a DVD player which is great if you enjoy movies. It has great picture and...
Pros: Great speed, reliability Cons: A bit pricey, long boot times
I purchased this computer in December '98. It is now January of '00 and this machine is still going strong. That is why I call it my "clutch performer." Whenever I need it to do anything, be it run Quake just a little bit faster than...
Pros: Buy online. Build the computer you want. Cons: Nil
I bought my first ever Dell computer XPS T600 with DVD about 7 months ago. All I can say is I love it. No real problems. Did have a few hiccups earlier in the piece but the DELL staff were more than happy to assist and solve the problem.
Pros: Cheap, easy to use, easy to purchase Cons: none
I just recently bought the Dell computer over the internet. The ordering process was very simple, and I was able to customize the computer to my liking. At Dell.com, buying a computer was as a easy as a point and click. The computer came a few days...
Pros: Good, Fast, and Smooth Cons: Not perfect in all cases
The Dell Dimension XPS T600 is a very good computer. My sister purchased this computer for her family. I have used it also. This computer is a good computer that is capable of all of the same things as a gigahertz computer. Many companies will try...
Pros: Ability to TOTALLY customize & configure PCs/laptops -Automated Tech Support - TechFax Capabilities - Competitive Prices Cons: Computers cannot be purchased through retail chains - Products come in very large, cumbersome boxes - Very few "buy computer-get printer" offers
There's one thing almost all computer users need at one time or another - TECHNICAL SUPPORT. If your hard drive crashes, where do you for help? If you just erased all of your Windows application, who do you go to? The answer, of course, is to...
Pros: The best of everything Cons: A little pricey (but what is money these days)
When I want to buy a celeron I will go to the eMachine, when I want a laptop I go to compaq, and when I want a fuel guzzling, low ridding, tricked out, hot rod I go see my Dell dealer.
This Dell machines I have delt with over the last 5 years...
Pros: Easy to set up, high quality parts Cons: The price is a bit high for a family unit
I purchased this computer for my spouse to buy and sell stocks over the Internet. However, I have been using for my engineering work, as a teaching tool for my kids and to track our finances. I have even borrowed DVDs from my friends to watch. I had...
I purchased this computer because Dell is simply the best computer manufacture in the world. The technology that comes with their systems is simply a little better than other companies. Also, the service is extremely helpful and amazing seeing how most...
Pros: Great Features, Great Price Cons: Freezes occaissonally
This is a great computer. It may not be the top of the line PC, with an incredibly fast processor, but it is not a slow computer. It is perfect for the average person, and at a great price. The DVD-rom drive is also a great buy, if you get bored of...
When it comes to value dell is a leader and the Dell Dimension XPS T 600 dvd is top notch in the dell line. Dell uses the best mix of brand name parts to make this desk top system work for you. form sound card to monitor leading edge consumer electronics...
This computer is just amazing. It is a great deal for about 2000 dollars. My computer has 30 gig which is just allowing me to put more movies and songs on it. I think to get the bigger hard drive is worth it. This is the computer of the 21 century....
Pros: Overall happy with computer Cons: Hard drive failed within 4 months
Was very happy with product until hard drive went bad when it was only 4 months old. By this time, we already had computer configured for our office use, i.e. networked with other computers, etc.

Pros: Its fast for a fairly inexpensive computer Cons: There are newer faster computers
I enjoy my computer, the DELL XPS T600 with the DVD player, because it's so fast! It runs at 600 mhz on a pentium III processer. That's really fast compared to the other desktops I have owned, but now with all the new technology, this computer is...
Pros: Fast, excellent pre-loaded software, tech support Cons: Faulty modem
I recently purchased an XPS T600 with a dvd, cdrw, 10 gig hard drive, and 128 megs of ram. I ordered over the phone and had a good experience dealing with the sales rep. I actually ended up calling back and speaking to another rep in order to make a...
Pros: Dependable, and fast Cons: No local distributors
Dell Dimension XPS 600 w/DVD has to be one of the most reliable computers on the market today. I've researched them all and found Dell Dimension to be the best in performance and stability. It's functionality is beyond comparison and it's user friendly...
I am a freshman in college, I needed a computer capable of doing my schoolwork (I'm a computer major) and one capable of playing video games. I was accepted for the Dell Visa card (designed for students) and was able to buy this great computer. This is...
I have recently purchased this computer and have seen great things. It is by far the fastest and most reliable machine I've ever owned. After 1 month, it has not crashed once. It has incredible value for other computers of this high caliber are far...
Pros: Performance, Tech Support, Fast Construction Cons: Price
After purchasing several DELLs, in a row, it is my opinion that these machines are the one of the best for customers. They feature cutting-edge technology with patient tech support that will help even on how to connect the cables.
Pros: very fast and very up-to-date Cons: you can find computers like this for cheaper if you look...
I can't say enough about Dell's line of computers. They are probably some of the best constructed computer you can buy. Many other large companies like Compaq and Gateway are selling computers for home users that are slower and cost more.
Dell is a company that originally started out as an IBM clone. However, they cloned the computers so well, that eventually Dell became a brand name. Now, Dell is one of the best computers out there. This specific model is especially good. The speed...
Pros: 3 year warranty, great sound, expansion room Cons: big price, CDRW is not standard
I found that the Dell XPS T600 came out of the box ready to assemble. Assembly was easy I might add and never needed to consult the manual. It was ready to play and play hard.
It carries all the horsepower you could want with its mighty 600mhz...
Pros: Everything: customer service, great product Cons: Haven't seen any yet
First, I want to make it clear that I am biased to Dell due to the fact that it is the first computer I ever purchased and has only been the only brand that I have ever purchased. Now to the review. I placed an order on Dell's website for a Dimension...
Pros: Help when you need it. Cons: Wait 3 weeks for delivery.
I considered buying a new computer for a long time. The old computer I was using was put together by a friend in 1990. It was originally a 486. It was upgraded several times till finally it was a Pentium 133 with 32bits RAM and 2.5gig hard drive.
I...
I purchased my system based on the Dell reputation for quality and service after the sale. The system specifications were also great and actually exceeded my needs for now, but will keep me current for sometime to come.
Pros: Best system for the price Cons: Tech support staff needs training!
I just purchased a Dell 600 xps and it is awesome! I ordered the computer online on 1-9-2000. I got 128 ram, 20GB hard drive, Sony CD-RW, 32 Mb video card, 17" Trinitron monitor, 48x cd rom, and the price was still
just under $2000.00! Dell...

The XPS-T series combines quality and reliability. It may be better to get a more "bare bones" version and get the other hardware extras separately. They do not include all the goodies and extra software that come with full retail versions...
I bought another Dell computer for use in my home offfice . Last March I purchased one for my office in the clinic (Dell 500 XPS). Dell delivers as promised. The best way to find out about the system you are considering to buy is to talk to their...
I absoluetly love my dell dimension. I transfered over from a tradition of Gateway after Gateway. I wanted to try something different, so when the old got outdated, i sprung for DELL. Dell proved me wrong about Gateway being better, the options on these...

Dear Reader,
My many years using computer's everyone will need them. When looking to buy one I suggest only the best. Dell computer's offer the best in all they produce. They have competitive prices and high quality equipment. They have...
This is a great system, but is it worth the money? I do not believe that it is. Dells are great computers, but they are overpriced by a long shot. You can make a better computer yourself or buy a hp or compaq that is just as good for a way better...
Last spring I bought the Dell Dimensions XPS Series for 3 grand. It has the top of the line everything. DVD, CDRW, and a $300 speakers, and more. I also bought the movie package with it, but I am very dissapointed in it. Everything besides the...

Dell personal computers are definitely reliable. I have worked in a very large organization where we have purchased several hundred Dell computers. Selling point was the reliability of the product and the service warranty. We have worked with Dell...
This is one fantastic computer. I'd rate it a ten of ten, except it costs 1.000 dollars over a computer with relatively the same components and features. Sure it has a dvd rom but you can buy one of those seperate for a 100 dollars. It comes with a...
Pros: Looked like a good system at a good price Cons: Endless problems with Modem
I am a computer consultant who helps individuals buy, setup and learn new computers. I have 42 years of experience in the business and have owned, bought and setup MANY computers, including Dells. Because of 3 recent problems my clients have had with...
