I don't think so. Your link takes you to the same webpage. From there you need to select the i5. The price will go up to 669 enter the discount code as I have indicated bringing the price down to 399

I think this deal is comparable to a couple of very recent front page deals. One that just expired today actually from the same manufacture/retailer. Not sure why this one is not getting any love. But then again I'm not a desktop computer expert by any stretch

The Inspiron version for the same price has 256GB m.2 SSD instead of 1TB HDD and 280W PSU instead of 200W PSU in a little larger chassis. But only Home instead of Pro for Windows.

Sorry viewing this on my phone and didn't see there being a problem with my link. But I did just edit the url as you two have suggested. Hopefully that's correct now thanks

I need a new computer for work. I need to watch videos and also run work software, sometimes multiple programs at the same time. No gaming. Is 8 GB enough or would I need 16 GB? Thanks.

Most likely yes.

As an affordable upgrade in a few years, you could add more memory.
