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....

Any thoughts on this for $299 ($399 -$100 off code)

I'm pretty clueless but need a new home office computer. Does this have good specs?
Also, is windows 10 easy to navigate?

This is a great computer, great specs

( I emailed it to my boss last night, this morning he replied ordered 6)
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

He doesn't always check this thread, he wants good deals to get their own thread.

Very similar, what do you need it for? You are basically deciding between an i7 8GB RAM vs i5 16GB RAM.

Anyone besides me  doesn't think the Dell Inspiron deal on DDMS is such a good deal?

It's a very powerful machine and totally overkill for most people but I think it's a good price for what it is
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Likewise looking for a good desktop for home use.  Not for gaming.  Looking at this one from the Microsoft store (like the fact there is no junkware) but don't want to drop $600.  Thoughts?

What do you think? Might be overkill, since I'm only going to be using it for basic Office, storing pictures, youtuve videos, etc.

Will the extra power mean it'll be useful for longer, or just mostly be wasted?
