If you can find this Inspiron desktop for a deal, we might recommend that you go for it, but the Aspire TC simply performs better for less, and it includes the same basic features. Graphics Tests This computer now works great, fast able to handle large high resolution graphic files and viewers with ease. All my programs open much faster and run smoothly. I am able to play video files smoothly from the SSD and streaming from the internet. Play CDs and DVDs. No glitches, not waiting. The sound quality is determined by the quality of the attached speakers. If considering an upgrade to this Dell, look at your current rig’s storage to see its size and how much storage remains. I’d bet that most of you with a 1TB drive in your old current computer haven’t used much of it unless you have tons and tons of photos and music ON that drive. Both can be managed through other means, such as cloud storage OR by moving some or all onto another drive inside the new computer or on a USB thumb drive plugged into a convenient port on the front or rear.

This Dell Inspiron 3910 Compact Desktop comes with the latest iteration of Intel's Core i5, the i5-12400, a 6-core, 2.5 GHz (max speed) Processor with integrated Intel UHD Graphics, 12GB of DDR4 3200 MHz System Memory, a 256 Gb Solid State Drive (SSD) for file storage, an internal DVD+RW drive for reading and writing CDs and DVDs, next generation standard WiFi 6 / 802.11ax WiFi Wireless Networking, Bluetooth, a 10/100/1000 (wired) Ethernet port, a HDMI output port, a DisplayPort output port, 4 USB 2.0 Type A Ports, 3 USB 3.2 Type A Ports, 1 USB 3.2 Type C Ports, a 180 watts Power Supply, a basic wired mechanical keyboard, a basic wired mouse, and is pre-loaded with a 64-bit Home version of Windows 11. Next to the CPU cooler are the memory slots to upgrade to up to 16GB of RAM, the baseline for most high-end machines, if you’re noticing programs are slightly sluggish. (Note that only one of the two DIMM slots was filled in our test unit, which means the model was not operating in dual-channel mode.) The computer has 1 pci and 1 pcie slot open if you want to install a more powerful graphics card or other card. There is a mount if you want to replace the 256 gb SSD with a larger capacity PCIe NVMe SSD 2280. Disk space: Unless you are using this computer in the same capacity as a Chromebook, you're will need additional disk space, either by an external disk drive, or installing one inside the case, as it only has 256 GB. With the computer's default installation of Windows 11, MS Office (preinstalled), and my installation of Chrome, Steam, and one game from my Steam library, I had already used up a little shy of half the disk space. That said, I find that this unmodified Dell - Inspiron Compact Desktop will do a great job on all the tasks and programs that most people do in their daily lives. And it does it at a relatively affordable price. I definitely suggest it for your day-to-day usage.The integrated Intel UHD graphics will do for simple photo and video editing and light gaming but if you run more graphics intensive applications, you’ll need a more powerful graphics card. The highest resolution supported is Full HD, 1080P (1920x1080). At that resolution, text aren’t really sharp, icons look distorted. If you are going to connect a 4K monitor to this and want to get the full effect, you might want to invest in a better graphics card. According to their specs, there’s only three supported graphics card for this 3910 series, the Nvidia GeForce GT730, GTX1650 and GTX1660, but that doesn’t mean necessarily mean other graphics cards won’t work. There is an available PCI-express x16 slot and a x1 slot. Should you need better graphics performance down the line, the option to install a motherboard-powered, dedicated GPU is there, but the ceiling is pretty low. Without it, however, don't plan to play PC games on this machine short of the most casual options.

With a standard, ubiquitous Windows wired keyboard and wired mouse, just add a monitor and monitor cable, computer speakers and it’s show time. GB of memory - nice to see a manufacturer finally moving up from the old 8 GB standard, although I would expect this in a desktop at this point. Also nice to know that you can put up to 64 GB of memory into this machine. Hopefully Dell will fix this soon. In the meantime try using the display port for video or do the bios update and firmware updates first.
