It doesn’t come with a monitor but a Dell USB entry keyboard and an optical mouse (both wired) which are comfortable enough but you can always upgrade to a wireless keyboard and mouse if you wish.

Conclusion: Dell Inspiron i3847 is a powerful desktop computer that is very simple to set-up (with little bloatware and just the trial versions of MS Office and McAfee) and use in day-to-day or a little more complex tasks at home or work with decent specs and features including generous amounts of memory and hard drive, Windows 7 operating system rather than the much criticised Windows 8 and the ability to upgrade easily later on when you need it. This is not a high level gaming computer as you can imagine at this price level and it will handle some of the latest games at lower settings as well as older titles at higher settings. It is powerful enough for pretty much everything else that you’d do on a daily basis. It has the standard 1Yr In-Home Warranty that is offered standard with the Dell Inspiron 3000 series desktops.
