I think this is a good deal for a business grade desktop from Dell

i7-6700
256gb M.2 PCIe NVME SSD
Windows 10 Pro (Better than Home version and upgrade in customise button)
8GB DDR4
Three years pro support (worth it imo and onsite I believe)
Cheap chiclet keyboard and mouse

Notes:

Buy a seagate 2TB hdd.
Try to find identical ram outside and add 8gb more for 16gb total.
Small and tiny which is good for smaller desks.

      Eh.. Deal's not amazing.. the i5-6600 version of this with 8GB/256GB SSD is only $700 on the Outlet

        Correct me if i'm wrong but these only accept half size graphics cards.

        @Unbreakable: Correct, the SFF's are low profile with no PCI-E connectors.

  Seems stupid to pay for M.2 PCIe NVME SSD and an i7 for a machine that is meant to sit on someones desk while they use MS Office, Outlook and browse the web doing business activities.

    In general I agree, however it would make for a good programmer's machine.

      Who compiles code locally?

        The vast majority of programmers?

        @CarbonTwelve: depends on your access to a hyper-vised cluster and the code ;)

        CarbonTwelve on 07/08/2016 - 08:00

        @Lukian: Yes it does, however, like I said, the vast majority of programmers are still compiling locally.

  Wow I didn't realise these models were so expensive! We get government pricing for this spec for well under $1000 shipped. Still, not a bad price for someone who might want to splurge on a home PC.

  Nobody cares about their inflated rrp. Without a decent graphics card this deal is only so-so. Not a bargain.

  bargaino on 05/08/2016 - 17:39

  Big discount, but if you want a real bargain, look at an ex-lease Optiplex, and add a new SSD.

    Yeah I'm trying to do that for a dirt cheap optiplex I got, but they have those damn slimline sata power cables for where I need to connect my SSD. Waiting on the slow train from china for an adaptor…Dell really don't make it easy.

    Big, ugly, noisy compared to the Dell, no OS, but has a fancy 3D graphics card.

    It does show how expensive the Dells are normally. I'm willing to pay a bit of a premium for their small, quiet cases and cooling systems, but not $1000.

      Each to their own I guess. I'd prefer a system that's well matched to my needs that can be upgraded. If i just wanted a small quiet machine for internet browsing I'd get an iPad…
