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 asked last week fedex they assured me that I'll get it on Saturday, looks like the picked up is BS
Correct. All Dell did was create a label that had a "estimated" delivery date of 11/28 but Fedex never actually received the item.
Are you going to contact them?

I bought a computer from best buy one day later I saw the dell computer so I bought it, once I saw that the dell computer quote and quote shipped, I went and refused the best buy computer, now that my Dell computer isn't coming, is there a way to get back the computer from best buy after refusing the order? Can I tell them that I never refused the order? Or another idea what to say?

From my extensive experience with Dell, if they ship the item or even list it as shipped you will most likely receive it.

And if they canceled without notice? Will they normally redo the order?

You can sometimes convince them that it was canceled due to credit card error...

FEDEX answered me last week this

Your package has been loaded up in a trailer and picked up on Friday. It is currently estimated to arrive Saturday November 28, 2015. Dell shipments typically are loaded up with many packages at once to leave all at the same time from the sender's location. I apologize for any confusion. Please continue to track your package at www.fedex.com for the most updated information. I'll be glad to continue to monitor your shipment until delivery is complete.

do you think that she doesnt begin to know what she is talking about?

thank you, maybe i'm overthinking this but the reviews aren't great and i read somewhere that is an "office computer" not sure how that defers from a home one...
of course if i go with this one i will use the link on DDMS:) how does this compare with the Hp pavilion on sale on  best buy ?

IDK how to compare AMD to Intel (to me it's apples & oranges). I'll let one of our resident experts weigh in.

Did you read the reviews? There's only one which is really troubling... I ordered one, so I should have my own opinion in a few days...
