Dell Dimension 4400 (A-D0314) PC Desktop

Pros: fast, reliable, multi-user interface
Cons: doesn't automatically come with Microsoft Office

My fiance and I recenly purchased a Dell Dimension 4400 with an Intel Pentium 4 (2.0 Ghz). Since our previous computer had a Pentium 285, this was a big step up!

The Dimension 4400 has several useful features. First, settings can be changed...

Pros: speed, hard drive
Cons: size

i got this computer a few weeks ago. I am writing on it righ tnow. it has been workign really well.it is fast and lets me play all the games I want to.it also has tons of hard drive space so that I can store everything I need to. I have it hooked up...

Pros: Cool color, Very reliable, powerful!
Cons: Hard to work on.

I've had my Dell for about 3 months now and I love it!!! It is faster than my Gateway by 50 times. I highly recommend the Pentium 4 processor. It really smokes! The entire system is compact and well designed. The CD-Rom is really fast and plays...

Pros: Good customer service took care of my problem.
Cons: The first computer I got was broken.

This review is more about the service I got from Dell rather than the computer itself. I like my Dimension 4400 very much and I feel that I got a good deal for it. Pentium 4 1.7 with 256MB RAM, a 17' monitor, optic mouse, NVidia Graphics card, and a...

Pros: Fast,lots of ram,good for normal use
Cons: Too darn expensive!!!

The computer its self is a nice computer, fast durable, average tech support, but its to darn expensive!!! you can buy that same computer for under 700$!

It included everything, (mouse, keyboard, monitor and tower) but at a local computer...

Pros: Easy online ordering
Cons: Bad first experience

Dude, I got a Dell! And the hard drive died less than a week after I received it. I understand that hardware problems are inevitable. Given that, Dell's customer support was less than stellar. After almost an hour on hold, I finally spoke to a...

Pros: None
Cons: Computer never worked, customer service was unbelievably awful

My computer was shipped to me on March 12th. On March 14th I had begun to hook up the system and called out our network administrator to hook it up to the network - paying him $50 per hour mind you. The computer never loaded. It froze up each time I...

Pros: great machine
Cons: tower is a little big

I got a Diminsion 4400 in 2002 and I WAS fantastic it looks good even thought the plastic is kinda cheap but it is a pretty fast machine compared to the 94' Compaq I had but the only major problem with it is that it runs on XP, and I cant fix the paging file making normal use ungodly and the tech support is horrific and condencending.

Pros: Price
Cons: Reliability Poor. High maintenance.

Bought a 4400 back in March 2002. I got the optional 85Gb hard drive. We use only Dells where I work and they had a promotion so i didnt shop around. I have had several PC's and have a mountain of legacy applications.
I have had 2 system crashes with the Dell that required a rebuild of the entire system. The most recent was required after upgrading to Windows XP service pack 2. I think the problem is the hard drive but repeated disc scans and diagnostics checks have turned up nothing of use. Tech support hasn't been very effective. I would only call them (in India) after exhausting all other possibilities.
Since the last crash, the system only starts properly every other time. I am now trying to decide if I should buy the new miniMac or a new hard drive...
I spend WAY too much time keeping Windows and my virus scanner up to date.

Pros: Runs great, no major malfunctions so far
Cons: Customer service isn't the greatest

I love Dell computers. Its great to have a computer built to your specifications (although it is often much cheaper to do the upgrades yourself. This computer is very user friendly. Its very easy to fix minor errors, and to do basic maintenance on.

Pros: Apart from the computer arriving as promised can't think of a single pro.
Cons: This computer will steal your life with endless maintenance and unending problems.

The computer from hell. 3 crashes in 3 1/2 years requiring a complete rebuild each time and taking approximately 40 hours each time!!

Pros: Customizable, Reliable, Opens Easily, Inexpensive
Cons: Plastic case

I purchased this computer for my undergraduate university years, and have had it for four years now and it has worked wonderfully almost the entire time. I recently replaced the dying monitor with an LCD monitor and added a DVD RW /- drive, and the computer accepted both. I have also replaced the default Windows operating system with Fedora Core Linux, and all the hardware with the exception of the Zip drive was recognized by default. I did have a brief problem during which the computer would only turn on, but would not activate the mouse or monitor (or, as far as I could tell, any software.) I opened the computer up, unplugged all the hardware and plugged it back in, thus fixing the problem. Overall, this computer has worked very well and still works great after four years. It was an excellent purchase.
