Hard drive continually thrashing without a single additional application installed

Facts:
- Installed only the default applications
- Installed Chrome
- Hard Drive continually thrashes and sits at 100% usage,
- This occurs because the the computer does not have enough memory to run even just run Windows 10 and chrome.
- Makes even the most simplest of tasks including clicking and waiting for windows to load take up to 5-8 seconds.
- HD even thrashes when the computer is not in use.
- I even went through the process of ordering a replacement and its the SAME PROBLEM with 2 PCs
- This machine is simply not powerful enough for the default Operating System and software and will only get worse as you add more applications and begin to fill the HD with your photos etc..
- Do not buy.

Brand new. Slow, very noisy and freezes. Takes minutes to load. It is so slow you think it has frozen then you click again to make sure it is working and you close off everything. Can not handle any more than 1 web page open at a time. Always loading something, checked task manager and nothing there. Could not recommend it at all, not sure I would recommend Dell. Wish I hadn't bought it.

Completely unstable

Just like the other review on this site. Very slow and then today it just died. Will not turn back on. No blue screen. No nothing. Probably only plugged in for two weeks.

Most expensive paper weight I have ever purchased

The computer was incedibly slow right from the start, taking minutes to load anything. Yesterday it stopped working all together. I have tried all the suggested fixes, nothing works. Total waste of money absolute junk.

I do not recommend this product. Get i5 or i7. Worth to spend more.

The first impression is very good. It is well made. Good material and finish quality.
There are mainly two things annoying me.
1. It is very slow. No multitasking is possible. I strongly recommend getting intel core i5 or i7. I used core i5 before. I can certainly notice the difference.
2. There is some level of kinda vibration noise. I am not sure what exactly causes it.
It is not bad for the price. However, it is not as good as a standard desktop worth around $1000.
