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!

This is the 2ND machine I've purchased from JSM Computers out of Oklahoma. The first was purchased in 2016 and finally kicked the bucket this year. I specifically wanted a machine from them. YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE "SOLD BY." The description remains the same, but since I purchased this machine last week, the SOLD BY has changed THREE TIMES to companies with worse business ratings. I checked this because I was recommending the unit to some friends, and wanted to make sure they purchased from JSM.The pre-purchase response was EXCELLENT with same day and late business hours answers to questions. When I booted the machine and tested the USB ports, a few weren't accepting wired Keyboard and Mouse. I let JSM know and Mark responded very quickly. I was still testing, but I wanted him to be apprised of the situation. I do NOT waste time with the Amazon support. Their solution to any crisis is pack it up and send it back. Instead, I kept testing and after some WIFI and BLUETOOTH adapters were inserted, the supposedly dead USB ports worked, and with the wired mouse and keyboard.The PC came clean... you could not tell how old is is unless you know computers. No noticeable wear or damage. They send a WIFI adapter, and I plugged that in, hooked up the monitor I already had, and it popped up easy as toast. Needed a bluetooth adapter, and once that came, accepted it (TP Link 5.0) without any issues. Did some bluetooth searches for speakers (you will need better speakers) and it found the Oontz Angle 3 and Tozo6 earbuds, without any issues. It's also found my TV, Roku stick, and something I don't know what it is (should probably find out).The machine is fast. Programs pop up fast, downloads are fast, and when I type, it's immediately responsive. Can't say anything about gaming unless you want to talk Angry Birds friends or Solitaire, but for productivity, online browsing, running applications like Scrivener, Libreoffice... It's a great machine for under $200 (I purchased a 3 year protection plan just because which made it $200.) Now if I have issues with it, I'll update this review, so if you don't see any update, it's doing just great.Remember JSM computers sold me this machine and provided pre-purchase support, actually on another two machines, and I ended buying this one. Oh! and I was informed by Mark that the Microsoft Certification that came as a sticker on my last machine is now built into the computer memory/hard drive? and recognized when you go online. I notice a number of reviewers doubting authenticity of software because they didn't see a sticker.Dell Optiplex 7010 Desktop Computer - Intel Core i7 Up to 3.8GHz Max Turbo Frequency, 16GB DDR3, New 1TB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit, WiFi, USB 3.0, DVDRW, 2X Display Port (Renewed) - Excellent Condition. $180.11.
