What you should know

Recovery Media
Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs used to restore your computer system to it's factory shipped state). Many do not even include Operating System disks.
This is not specific to systems purchased from any one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.
However, many manufacturers include software on the hard drive that creates recovery media for you. This allows burning your own set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need is the blank media.
Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies by manufacturer and model; not all manufactures and models include such a utility. For those that include such a utility we recommend you create your own set of recovery media after completing the Windows installation. In other words, right after you start using your PC!
If you fail to do this and encounter a difficulty in the future you may not be able to properly restore your computer.
Some manufacturers may have physical recovery media available separately for purchase; consult your owner’s manual support information section for additional information. Systems that do not come with a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery Disks - please check the manufacturer's specs.

Customer Reviews
Good Computer
I bought this when my 2 yr old laptop's CPU failed. It was a huge upgrade. I can run SWTOR with a lot of the settings on high or almost high, no lag even when in highly populated areas. I can also run Guild Wars 2 on medium settings with no lag whatsoever. Sims 3 can be run with some high settings but mostly medium with no lag. I'm enjoying this computer a lot. It is fast, runs cool, and doesn't seem to struggle at all no matter what I toss at it.
I did have a problem when I first got the computer. It kept freezing whenever connected to the internet. I discovered this was because of ad-aware, a free anti-virus software I had installed. Once that was removed it was fine.
Good Value
Found lesser machine at Dell Oulet for about same price. This was a much better deal. Setup was easy and machine works great.
Good for everyday use
I had to return this product only because they said over the phone that this computer supports 2 video cards. Had the machine for 2 weeks and that was the Only down fall.
I would recommend upgrading the RAM to at least 10GB.
Dell XPS 8300
I think the value and quality of this product is very good. The performance is excellent.
Not Impressed
Just not much different from my old computer.
