Ryzen 5 3600, 3060 TI (Zotac gaming OC version), 16 GB hyper 3000mhz ram, 1 TB M.2 WD blue, Thermaltake 600W gold, b450 Asus prime mobo. Only thing I did was add an AIO...CPU never over 65 C playing warzone and I get 130-150 average frames on 1080p medium settings. I am going to upgrade the mobo next then later down the road get a 5600x probably but I love the PC honestly. It did go up in price lately though, I guess I got it just in time. My coworker tried to tell me to get this Dell and I am so happy I didn't, especially after seeing this. I wanted to build one myself so bad that as soon as I got my new AIO, I literally tore the whole PC down and rebuilt it from the beginning LOL.

Since the key is embedded in the BIOS, it always activated. Then we'd load on the client's software stack and create an image of that and use it to load all the other new PCs or an existing PC if it was going to be re-used for another employee.

I needed to ran on 1 specific Windows drivers to have my WiFI/Ethernet "working", not to mention all the times Windows secretly update the working driver to a newer one that doesn't work, or try to reinstall the one from Qualcomm. The "feature" of those Killer drivers from Qualcomm is an algo that "prioritise" gaming packet so you have a better ping. But in reality it makes micro-lag, or just disconnect you in online game and disconnect from your router for a few seconds. VERY FRUSTRATING !!!

Interesting this series. One thing I reckon could be of benefit is having someone from Dell on to actually explain why they feature such bloatware and get them to go through and explain what the purpose of most of their bloatware is. I do think that some of it is genuinely beneficial like the Service and Support/Warranty apps but obviously most is actually 'bloatware'. This is problem the main thing missing from your video to really make it top notch - a more formal opportunity for Dell to rebut any claims you make and it'd just be interesting to see what they'd say if you had a guest employee of theirs.
