Dell OptiPlex Desktop Complete Computer Package with Windows 10 Home - Keyboard, Mouse, 17" LCD Monitor(brands may vary) (Renewed)

I came to my sons house for the summer. His wife had one 3 year old at the time and was pregnant while going to college and working full time as a correctional officer. Her computer was dinosaur slow. I just could not stand by and watch her struggle to manage her busy life and wait for a computer to take 5 minutes to load a page. First, I was very concerned about any computer that costs less than 200. A Dell pc of this quality is worth about twelve hundred. I purchased a 10 dollar wifi card and set the pc up. I could not believe my eyes or luck at the absolute quality of this computer it looks and acts brand new. I am impressed and was driven to tears at the time this computer is saving her. It moves like a hot knife through butter and her school work is done 5 times faster. She is now the proud mom of her 3 year old son and a brand new baby girl and she is holding it together like a pro and keeping up with school work. I am so glad to have had a small hand in making her life easier and I thank the seller for this product knowing it was Amazon certified refurbished made me purchase it and the Amazon customer guarantee made is easy to purchase. I did not expect what I got. I expected an updated archaic tower but was presently surprised to find a nice current tower with updated everything that is top of the line.

very good machine for the money. over all this was a good purchase. i didnt expect this machine to be as good as it is. only had this for a few days but it is working fine so far. the case has a few marks on it and the screen looks like it has been used lightly before but the both look better than what i was replacing. the screen is clear and doesnt have any major defects. even though the cpu case isnt perfect the electronics work fine. i didnt expect a show piece i just needed a computer that works. the win 7 is the real reason for the purchase. the operating system is easy to use and has win 8 and 8.1 beat. if i knew that a refurb machine was going to be as good as this one i would have rethought putting off the purchase. i dont usually purchase used electronics but this purchase was worth the try. the packaging was very adequate for delivery through all the miles to florida. plenty of syrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap to keep anything from getting smashed. shipping and handling price was worth the price i paid. mouse and speakers are good enough to get the machine running and use till i get the more expensive ones that will probably break before these will. first time boot wasnt any different than any new machine. .it took a few minutes of concentration to complete but not time consuming.

Was very excited to receive computer as it is needed for my children for school. Arrived on time as stated. Upon taking pieces from the package my first notice was the DVD component was semi disconnected and pushed into the tower. Multiple scratches and evidence of wear and tear. As I do understand it was refurbished but very evident of it being used. After plugging all cords and pieces in the tower came on and shut off. The monitor display showed no signal. Me assuming an error on my part I flick the switch to the already on power cord I had. That wasn't the problem nothing came on. I then switched the cords from the monitor to the tower and the tower to the monitor. The tower again came on and shut off. During the moment of sitting and requesting a refund the tower again booted itself on and shut back of immediately. It never stayed on long enough to be seen on the monitor. I am very disappointed as school starts soon and now I have to find another computer. I guess this is what I get for thinking I can get something decent for a lower price.

If I were evaluating this against a standard desktop computer, I would give it less than 4 stars. But for the price, this is a pretty good machine. It's not without its issues--even after purchasing and installing additional memory, I still get frequent low-memory warnings that force me to close my browser, and every time I turn the computer on I get the following message: "This version of audio esp is not intended for this operating system." I just X the message out and it doesn't seem to have any effect on the computer or sound, so it's more a nuisance than anything else, but it does seem like something that should have been taken care of before the computer was shipped out.The monitor, keyboard and mouse are all very nice quality and work great. I especially love that the monitor is adjustable in height (if your monitor arrives locked in the lowest position like mine was and won't slide up, just push it down a bit and the lock will release and let you slide it up to your preferred height). The tower has a couple of dings and scratches, but they are only cosmetic and don't appear to affect performance (at least as far as I can tell). The speakers were terrible--they were flimsy and produced a constant crackling noise like a radio with a bad signal, but I figured that they were the least critical piece of hardware, so I wasn't too disappointed. I bought these instead and they work great: AmazonBasics USB Powered Computer Speakers (A100).Again, my rating is for the value of the product for the price. For a little over $100, this is a great buy. As long as you are not expecting the versatility or performance you'd get with a newer, more high-end machine, this is definitely worth the money.
