    Perfect for Everyday Tasks

    This machine is great for performing all everyday tasks at home. Browsing, office software, basic photo/video editing. It's fast and quiet. And it's a great value if you can find an open box unit in excellent condition. The only reason that we replaced our old Dell machine was to upgrade to Windows 11.

    This was an open box purchase of a Windows 11 PC. replaced a W10 PC. Worked great at first startup. Monitor for the W10 PC was a VGA unit for which the W11 PC could not connect to. Replaced the monitor with a Best Buy 23" TV for it's HDMI connection input ability. Only issue in it's 1 week usage was the Firefox browser that came with W11 package. A daily used website stopped displaying database pictures in search results, whereas with the W10 there were never any issues. Switching to W11's Edge browser working with the same website and links, the data pictures displayed normally. going back to W11 Firefox, saw the browser version was labeled MOZILLA-MSIX-1.0. Looking at Firefox on another home PC, the wersion was 141 which I was certain it was in that area. Downloaded Firefox from its website, 142.0.0, and the problem website was now functioning properly. I had at least 2 websites that dealing with picture records that would not allow viewing in the W11 base Firefox browser. Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise the Dell has worked great and was a good buy to get upgraded to W11. Even with this issue, initially, my review is for a good buy.

    The computer runs pretty good thus far. It's not too big or bulky Though it's a refurbished one, Dell is a good product. I have faith in in it that it will run me a good while, some years hopefully.

    My Mother's old Dell had just turned 10 years old, so we decided on this one as a replacement. It's small and powerful and EXCEEDS her needs. Between her church needs, email, and all her genealogy research it's great.

    I was looking for PC that has windows 11 to replace windows 10 which I have for almost 7 years. Found Dell Inspiron 3030 with 8GB memory and 512 GB SSD at Best Buy located at San Antonio Ingram store. I also opened an account with Geek Squad Best Buy Total member the same day, it was the best thing I did. Geek Squad solved many problem with my old PC for me. The new PC runs well as expected. Every sale staff here was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommended.

    It is what I needed. It is so much faster that my old computer and have had no problems with it. I did have to buy a cord for my monitor to work as it is old school.
