I have owned various IPads since the second generation IPad 2 in 2011. This iPad is without question the best iPad Apple has ever produced in terms of speed, weight, camera specs, and screen color accuracy and clarity. I purchased this several weeks ago when it was on sale with the student discount and its a phenomenal value. I'd recommend this tablet to everyone from newbies to veteran tablet users. You can't go wrong with an iPad!

Dell Inspiron 3650 Desktop: Multitask without sacrificing speed with this computer's high-speed wireless connectivity and 12GB memory for fast computing. Store plenty of music, videos and games with the expansive 1TB hard drive.

After years of owning another brand, I returned to Dell. My entire household now uses Dell PC's in addition to our tablets. Dell has in my opinion out innovated its competition while still offering compelling products for the masses.
This desktop pc features a quad core Intel core i5 processor, 12GB of ram, Intel HD graphics and a 1TB hard drive. The first unit I purchased had some cosmetic damage so I exchanged it for a second unit and it's gorgeous.
The shiny black finish is very aesthetically pleasing however it does show dust and fingerprints like crazy. Initial set up is pretty quick and there is very little bloatware. I recommend denying / saying no to the Dell digital delivery box when it pops up unless you specially purchased software from Dell to be added to your system.
In every day use- I find the system to be very quick. I have only used it for basic productivity tasks such as office and web browsing- it speeds through these tasks with ease. If you're able to utilize the student discount with this system its a phenomenal value, however even without the extra discount it's a system you'll be happy with for years to come.

Value King!

I purchased this monitor to go with a new Dell PC - and like many here purchased it based on its excellent price. In terms of sheer value - a 23 inch full HD IPS monitor from a name brand for anything less than a couple hundred dollars is an excellent value. The monitor itself looks modern, and has a slim design. The clarity is top notch, and color reproduction is pleasing to the eye. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this anyone searching for a great value.

I purchased this Dell Inspiron 3252 desktop as a basic workhorse pc - which will not be my primary pc as I also have a macbook pro. I purchased this particular model due mainly to its price and because it runs windows 10 natively. In terms of specs this desktop is modest but mighty in that it offers a Pentium quad core processor and a fast 7200 rpm hard drive. Many other desktop computers around this price offer dual core Celeron processors and slower 5400 rpm hard drives. I haven't used the computer very long but can tell you for basic productivity use, web browsing, and even moderate tasks - this unit performs very well. Definitely worth a look!

With the breakthrough Retina display, 5.0MP iSight camera, and ultrafast wireless, iPad (3rd Generation) is more immersive than ever before. Surf the Web, check your e-mail, flip through photos, watch a movie, play a game, thumb through a book or magazine, and more. iPad gives you a smarter, more intuitive, more fun way to do everyday things — and thanks to 200,000 apps1 in the App Store — things you can't even imagine.

Twice the resolution & 4G LTE at no extra cost !
on March 19, 2012
Posted by: Accordguy0325
from Albany, NY
After having two previous iPad 2's and a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 - I can confidently say this is my best tablet yet. I loved my iPad 2 - not so much on the Samsung, mainly due to the iPads ease of use and performance.
The iPad 3 continues its ease of use tradition, and offers amazing clarity of text, and more vibrant photo production. I have yet to watch an hd movie on this iPad so I'm afraid I cannot comment on this aspect, nor have I tested its 4G capability as of this moment.
The only downsides are its slightly heavier, and slightly thicker, both of which are noticeable - at least to me.
I feel however that its a small price to pay for a tablet with such an incredible screen compared to all other tablets currently on the market, while costing not a penny more.
Kudos to Apple !
What's great about it: Amazing screen, 4G LTE, great battery life
What's not so great: Heavier and thicker than last iPad 2, runs a tick warmer than iPad 2

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

Fantastic device !

Posted by: Accordguy0325

As someone who could be classified as an Apple fan, I currently own an iMac, a Macbook Air, an iPhone, and now, and iPad2.
For the past year or so- since the introduction of the first iPad I felt it was a useless device, however after using the iPad2 I can honestly say it is my favorite out of all the devices I own due to its ease of use, lightness, and the ability to really interact with the product / the internet/ and various programs via its touch screen.
The ipad2 makes basic web browsing, checking email, playing games, music, etc, more fun than on a regular computer and it is incredibly light, sturdy, and portable. Most of the time I am using it while sitting on the couch or while laying in bed.
It features a bright, clear screen- by far the best of most tablets available, and its weight is bested by only one tablet on the market by .07 of a pound. The app store has a huge selection of apps in just about every category imaginable.
If you have been debating over whether to purchase one or not- give it a try- I am sure you will love it as much as I do.
What's great about it: Virtually everything
What's not so great: lack of flash support

Hello there... I had some trouble initially myself when making the switch - not to worry. You can sign up via apple.com for a free workshop on getting to know your mac which may be of help- and as you may know, you have 90 days of complimentary telephone support from Apple. To solve your website issue, you need to download Adobe flash player for mac from adobe.com. Enjoy !

Best Buy clearly had a misprint in its advertising. The processor is a 1.6ghz processor - that can turbo up to 2.4. As for the system not being easy to use - if you're referring to Windows 10 please do not rate the computer based on software complexity versus hardware. Thanks

By himam
TV screen is awesome but sound quality is not up to that mark. You can barely hear lower voices clearly on movie/drama/serial unless you make volume up where as at the same volume level the loud voices and background sound are too loud & high. Very frequently need to use tv remote to control volume.

Common problem - easy solution
December 26, 2015
The issue you present has been common in flat panel tv's since their inception - the thinner a product is the less room it has for a good speaker. Sound bars / home theater systems are virtually required with today's flat panel televisions. Buy one - problem solved.

I am very disappointed with this computer. If it has been turned off, it takes several reboots to connect to the internet. When it does connect to the internet, it is extremely slow compared to the computer it replaced and other computers I have used. It will be replaced as soon as possible.

By Bonhombre
A desk top computer is preferred since retirement. We primarily use our computer for correspondence, emails and research. This Dell Inspiron Desktop - Intel Pentium is listed as having builtin wireless network capability, which we found to be unreliable. Using the wireless feature, we experienced problems with this computer linking with our Belkin Router to get online, and with our HP printer. Since it is a Desk Top, we hard wired it to the router and printer since it is in close proximity.

Of all the computers I've had or bought, this has got to be the worst one. Never will I buy this brand again. I've seen this brand all over the place but Dell is not for me. This machine had a mind of it's own.

Can you elaborate on "the machine having a mind of its own"? Windows 10 in of itself operates to the beat of its own drum so to speak - which really isn't related to the hardware manufacturer - in this case being Dell.

Is it possible to stream
Can this dell computer stream Netflix HD movies and also YouTube HD videos
It can yes- however the internal wireless card is a single band a/b/g/n unit only. Units with a dual band AC card would be better suited for regular streaming.

Is 4 Gigs of RAM enough to support spreadsheet, word processing, Quickbooks and the Windows 10 Operating System?
It is enough to get by - however at times you will find the operating system can take 2gbs in of itself to run. As long as you don't have too many programs open / running at the same time you should be okay.

pentium
what Pentium is in this ? one ,two three or faster
in 2001 three is a Pentium three is this one faster?
in 2001 three is a Pentium three is this one faster?
It's a fifth gen Intel Pentium processor - 1.6 quad core. It is better at multitasking and energy use compared to older processors. That being said - its not as fast as Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 processors so keep that in mind .

Can I add another 4 gig of memory?
Is there a slot to add another 4 gig of DDR3 memory, or do I need to buy a single stick of 8, etc?
This computer has one slot - so you'd need to buy a single 8gb stick. I upgraded mine using Crucial memory.
