it still has one of those old LCD screens, not LED. No integrated webcam; wireless mouse and keyboard use an USB receiver instead of bluetooth. Chassis is hard to clean. The monitor is so loving thick and it has a crappy supporter that you will spend an hour trying to get it right. Computer goes at 70˚ while using Microsoft Word Starter. Windows CD is not included in the package. Microsoft Office is unlicensed. Nero CD is not included in the package. I could go on with this list forever (not to mention how bad the support is), but I have a lot more important things to do.

bold makes me want to punch you in the face because my first computer i got in early 2011 had a CRT monitor and was stuck with that til august
integrated webcam in a desktop? LOL good luck with that
bluetooth wasn't always standard, and it barely is standard right now in desktops
all dell cases are hard to clean, you can't take anything off other than the single side
Celsius or Fahrenheit?
bitch at them for not including it, plus, if you have a valid license you can download a copy of the disk
the piece of office that comes with it is a trial
Nero isn't supposed to come with it

please continue to tell me how unfair dell is

not what i was implying; LCD monitors are fine, he's bitching over a trivial thing

I would never use a stuffty lcd monitor, especially today. A decent lcd monitor is dirt cheap

The difference is so small...
The forget.

LED monitors just use slightly less power, are slightly thinner, and cost five times as much.

Its a 100 dollars. If I bought a new computer from a company I would expect something like this and nothing less. Dell is just a stuff company

That is my monitor I got for 16 dollars. How you might ask? Brand new at bestbuy, 150 original price, 92.50 in gift cards from selling my DS lite, 20 dollar bill in my wallet for phone bill that my mom didn't make me pay, rest on my debit card. Love the thing so loving much.

I would have to disagree. After putting together several computers a week for the past year I have seen the nice features that Dells provide. The components in the computer are just as good as any other, but the cases are very nice for customization. They use a system of tabs so nearly every part requires no screws to remove or replace. Even the slot covers and motherboard can be removed from the case without a screwdriver. In my experience, the quality of their products is equal to that of other companies, but the ease of use is much higher.
