Positive feedback also highlights its ease of setup and the generally good condition of the pre-owned units. However, some customers note the lack of HDMI ports and report that the system can be noisy. The absence of built-in Wi-Fi is another recurring concern.

    Good and quick for what it is, but probably should have read more as there wasn't a wireless card in it and it used display ports and not hdmi. This had us scrambling to get hdmi to display port cords to run the new monitors and then I had to purchase a wireless dongle. Startup was a bit rough, as when we started it it refused to startup, so I had to call the number and the customer service was great and stayed with me till it was done. Haven't had a problem since and my husband loves it. Even with the minor hiccups in the beginning, the system is good and so I give it 4/5

    We purchased this pre-owned Dell OptiPlex Desktop as a starter computer for our 16 year old. He has been very happy with it, as have we. Great speed and a tremendous amount of storage for the price.

    This was better than I expected, Looks and runs like a new computer. Nice and compact. The delivery was a day early. The only glitch was I needed a HDMI to DISPLAY cord instead of the HDMI to HDMI I already had on hand. All My programs run much faster with than on my old HP. VERY PLEASED... Happy I went with the suggestion of the BEST Buy Tech!

    Great value, refurb work was top notch. Works extremely well for my purposes. Like the shrink-wrapped delivery; everything including power cord and peripherals were included and in working order - I'd say it's a win! Except I didn't count on this model processor not supporting Win11...sigh
