Hot deal for office work and school.
Don't buy if you want a GPU later.

It only has 200W Power, so you can't put most gfx cards.
Perfect for the kids or parents to do web streaming and basic office tasks.

I was considering it, but decided to build a mini ITX system instead for similar price.

My slightly upgraded version of this, could easily knock $100 with less/cheaper ram, ssd instead of NVME, cheaper case (although this comes with power and is impressively small).

All in all this dell is a pretty good deal considering its no added cost to not have to build it.

Any advice on a decent card that this system can still support?

So tempted. but no dual monitor support. Just 1 HDMI and 1 VGA ... Probably no-go for me. It is a really good price though ...
Quote from fheiland :
Yes. I have that exact setup. Problem is if you have monitors with only hdmi inputs.
Acer is the only brand I've seen come standard with dual HDMI (+1 VGA, so tri-monitor capable). With Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. you're stuck with 1 HDMI + 1 VGA unless you get a higher end one with Displayport as well.

HDMI and VGA is two ports.... if you have existing monitors they make adapters for everything
Quote from slick dealsss :
I was assuming this would be the case too. If I have a monitor with hdmi and a monitor with vga, couldn't I just hook both up and they would work as dual?
VGA is a legacy technology that utilize analog signaling method and if it goes higher than 1080p (or even at 1080p), you may start to notice ghosting and quality loss. I (and many others) do not consider VGA a viable option for today's LCD monitors.

Why not? VGA cable from PC to monitor then this adapter into the monitor with only HDMI input?

Quote from Tazmania99 :
Good price for a budget PC. Add one stick of 8G ram and you are good to go.
Is the RAM expansion capability anywhere in the specs?

I see the XPS model lists "Four DIMM slots (supports up to 128GB)" under "Slots" but this one only shows:
"Internal:
1 PCIe x16
1 PCIe x1
1 M.2 2230 slot for WiFi and Bluetooth combo card
1 M.2 2230/2280 slot for PCIe solid-state drive
2 SATA slots for 3.5-inch HDD, 2.5-inch HDD/SSD
1 SATA slot for slim Optical Disk Drive (ODD)"

Would this work as a home theater PC for 4k transcoding?

Physically you probably could but I wouldnt try with a 200w power supply. Even a very basic GTX 1650 uses close to 80w alone. Add that to ~100w (under load) for the rest of the system and you are asking for trouble.

unfortunately the ones that do not require external power are quite old and not powerful at all.
I really wouldn't recommend this system if you plan on getting a gfx card in the future.

It is basically impossible to replace this power supply. It can be done, but at excessive cost, so much that it would be cheaper to sell the system and rebuild.
