Dell Optiplex 7010 Business Desktop Computer (Intel Quad Core i5-3470 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, USB 3.0, DVDRW, Windows 10 Professional (Renewed)

I bought one of these several years ago, and then bought another because I like the first one so much. They both arrived in very close to like-new condition, with newly installed 2 TB hard drives.They are very nice machines that can do lots of things like run Office 365 or an open source equivalent, but you need to understand that these are refurbished business computers, and therefore have some limitations--or maybe I should just say that they are a bit different than a home PC, but can be easily set up for a nice homework machine. It is NOT a state-of-the-art gaming platform, and doesn't pretend to be one!1. As a former business machine, it was meant to connect to an Ethernet LAN, so there is no Wi-Fi inside. You can easily fix that by adding a very inexpensive Wi-Fi USB dongle-type adapter for just a few dollars. In my case, I really wanted Ethernet only, so I'm very happy with what I got, and maybe saved a few dollars by not paying for something I didn't need.2. Again, as a business computer, you get two display port connectors. The nice part about this is that you can have two monitors running in Windows. Good for a business environment, but you may not need both. If you just want to hook up an older monitor you already have at home, you can buy either a display port-to HDMI cable here on Amazon, or just a simple DP-to-HDMI adapter for under $10. If you have a decent monitor at home already, it may have a built-in Display Port connector. Display Port and HDMI connectors are easily confused at a glance, so it wouldn't hurt to check.3. The computer comes with Windows 10 Pro--ideal for most of us. The Pro version has a few more networking and remote-control features that I really wanted, but maybe you don't. I see it as a bonus, for the price, and most people may not know or care whether it's the Home or Pro version.The two machines I bought, like many of them that are a bit older, can not be upgraded to Windows 11. Some might say that's a blessing (!), but it also means that they will be good for only a few more years until Microsoft forces all of us off of Windows 10. That's a Microsoft issue, not the fault of this particular computer model.I have two other computers besides these two that I bought or built, and they can't be upgraded either. BUT LOOK AT THE PRICE YOU ARE PAYING HERE FOR SUCH A DECENT COMPUTER! It's a great deal, and will be a solid performer for several more years...then maybe you can come back and buy something equally cheap a bit later--or for some of us, these computers can be turned into a very nice Linux desktop system. Remember that there are still lots of people out there using Windows 7 PCs to this day, so you'll be ahead of them, so to speak.So there you go--caveat emptor. Read the description, understand why it is available for such a low price, and buy accordingly. You're not buying junk. These are very decent, but used, and refurbished. I'm very happy with my two well-built, solid, computers from this vendor. They've done a very nice job with them, and I'm very satisfied with what they sold me!

i didnt think this was working because it froze up on me the first time i tried to use it. Now i tried it again and it worked perfect. Not expensive at all does what it says it does and for the price well you get what you pay for and it does the job i want it to do.

I bought my unit from a seller called "Skytech USA," and the machine actually shipped from Canada. Thankfully they chose to use UPS for shipping instead of the dreadful Canada Post, but I was worried it would get delayed upon entry due to the coronavirus pandemic. Thankfully it came on the first day of the expected delivery range, but I would appreciate knowing I'm shopping out of the country before I buy next time. Taking one star away for lack of transparency in the advertisement.I'm happy to report it was packed well though, with 8 Styrofoam corners holding it firmly in place, and it was shrink wrapped to prevent dust getting in during shipment. Box could have been a little thicker for my liking but it held up well enough, but the box was absolutely filthy on the outside for some reason. Meh.The good news is that this seller actually seems to read their reviews and respond appropriately! I had seen horror stories about people getting 4 different sticks of ram, or internals covered in dust, but that wasn't the case for me. I actually got a slightly better CPU than advertised, mine came with an I5 3570 instead of the 3470 it's advertised with, and it does indeed have a matched set of four 4gb sticks of ram and Seagate 2tb drive. It was spotlessly clean and smelled like a hospital when I removed the side panel. I didn't even need to hit it with the air duster. The included peripherals I received are AST brand, and both are brand new and decent quality, though they are not wireless. As far as performance, this is definitely not a "graphically intensive gaming PC" (matter of fact I can't think of a GPU that would fit off the top of my head), but for emulators/platformers/puzzle games, casual home or shared use, or business user it's more than adequate. It will probably run simple games as well as most laptops with integrated graphics, but I wouldn't try anything graphics intensive. Windows 10 Pro installed in less than 5 minutes and all seems well so far! If I have any issues I will update this review, but it appears to be smooth sailing so far.Overall, this was a four star experience. PC is great, but the seller's name is a little misleading, because they call themselves a USA business but ship from Canada. If Skytech update the ad to disclose this information I will update the review to five stars.
