I would have bought one more similar to this if I could have configured it when I got mine. Mine was as robust as you could buy at the time. Happy to see they keep pushing the limits. I have zero fucks given about buying a 10-12k computer. |

I'm sure it is a solid machine, but that's a bit out of the price range I'd be willing to spend right now.

Honestly if you are just using a computer to do internet/email and the occasional document/spreadsheet/photochop I recommend getting a Linux machine. You can get a nice laptop from an outfit like System76 for under a grand, it comes pre-loaded with a flavor of Ubuntu Linux, and is fast as hell if you get an SSD boot/storage drive. They make higher-end machines too. For shits and giggles earlier this year I went on their website and configured their high-end tower system with maximum everything and it priced out at over $64,000 IIRC.
So many advantages, like not having to worry about Microsoft anything, no viruses, and so many free software packages. |

If you truly need 8TB of onboard SSD, 2TB M.2 cards are readily available in the $250 ballpark....Paying Dell $5k for a quartet of them is insane. |
