Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

I have been looking around lately as well roughly in that price range.
What bothered me about this computer was, that although the processor is a i5 its a slower i5 than what you will get in similar priced desktops. If you don't need the power than based on what I found this is a ok deal compared to other all- in- ones.

I'm sure DH can you further help you with this.

Not $629, but $699 isn't bad either (Plus I think you can get a 10% discount with a .edu email address).

For some reason the link keeps on expiring.

Just do a Google search for "Inspiron 660S" and under "Shop for Inspiron 660S" click on the Dell.Com option that shows $499.
