Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro 7 Gen

This is a business grade machine (my last company was migrating to it in the most recent upgrade) that will blow you away. Tiny form factor, absolutely quiet (because of the solid state hard drive) with so much power and speed. Just the restart speed will make you smile every time you turn it on. Because of the small size, you don't have to worry about finding room for the computer. It has plenty of USB ports (USB 3) and supports two monitors (via two different video out ports, but that is not a problem). I paired it with a 4 terabyte external solid state drive https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STDR4000900/dp/B0196J43TE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 which was complete overkill since the Optiplex has 240 gig solid state hard drive. But you can never have too much memory. My old laptop is so noisy compared to this one it is not even fair. Very happy customer!

From the moment I unpacked this small form computer, it has performed exceptionally. I mounted it to the underside of my desk out of the way and its extremely quiet and small. I never hear a fan or any other noise. Love that it checks for Intel software updates constantly and notifies me. I have now owned it for over 1 year and never had one issue. Is very fast and powers a 34" screen with multiple programs operating simultaneously. I am a small business owner and would recommend this to anyone. Not a gamer here so can't comment on gaming power. This is strictly a workhorse for me.

I bought this computer July 2019 and already the power brick is going (power cord). :( UPDATE: I found out the power cord was pulled out a bit from the back of the computer, it wasn't the power cord at all so still good to go with this computer. no other issues

PC never worked. Seller denied return. -Was originally sent with another users account already setup and password protected, we had to wipe with Win 10 disk -Original hard drive image corrupted so bad we had to get Dell to send a replacement -continual beeps and loud fan noise -now computer will not turn on at all. Issue looks to be due to motherboard, as I’ve tested the rest of the system

Awesome little computer, quite capable and fast. My only regrets are that there aren't enough USB connections. Otherwise it's a breeze to work with, setup and enjoy! Takes little or no space, I installed a peripheral external Harddrive-DVD and USB hub and I was off to the races!

So far, fantastic piece of kit. Super compact and totally quiet. It will not blow any benchmark tests out of the water, but if you need a capable office machine that will be dead reliable this is a great bet. It has bluetooth and wifi built in so you don't need to run many wires or worry about hard wiring it to your router.

Purchased and returned. I bought it as desktop replacement for my work computer. I run Windows 10 and have a Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch curved display (basically a dual monitor on one physical monitor). The processor wasn't able to handle all of that resolution without having delays in word processing and basic internet navigation. SUMMARY: Single monitor setups with normal resolutions? Should be fine with this compact unit.

I almost can't believe what a powerful computer this is for how small it is. I think my Dad said at least 10x that he can't believe how small it is. From my standpoint, if you're looking for something simple and fast that won't take up much space, look no further. Unless you need to have a blu-ray/dvd/cdrom drive on your computer all the time, because it doesn't have that, though you can get USB plug-in blu-ray drive if you only need it on occasion. Price it out, know what your computing needs are. Almost anything you could or would need in excess of this machine you could easily solve with a USB plug-in on the rare times you may need those things. For every day basics this computer is fabulous. I'm so happy with this purchase. This has plenty of ports, it's small and it's fast because of the SSD. It's really quiet too. I would not however recommend it for hard-core gaming, although I do have a game running on it most of the time with no issues whatsoever.
