Window 11 Pro Optiplex Core i5 Series Desktop Small Form Desktop Tower PC (Intel Quad Core I5 4570, 8 Gb Ram, 120 SSD), (Renewed)

The delivery was early, not left on the doorstep and handed over by a very pleasant and polite delivery person. Excellant. The PC was packed very neatly in a strong cardboard carton using bespoke preformed bubble plastic which ensured the the item eas very secure in transit and was easy to unpack neatly without spurious packaging bits being left around. Excellant, The PC was without keyboard(expected) but included a new power cable and a Wreless pc adapter (not expected). The package had little in the form of instructions but was quite easy to set up using own monitor with cables and connection for the internet. Windows 11 loaded quickly and I was soon able to load my personal software and files and connect to the internet. I have now used this computer for several weeks and it has performed impecably being very fast to load up and shut down and provide excellent service on the internet. The overall sales package is lacking documentaion both technical sales details, but the rest is so good that points ahould not be deducted. The presentation and performance of this of this PC are outstanding and the price is excellent value for money. No Complaints and I would but from them again if the tell me where thy are.

Pc is a great buy. Works beautifully and very easy to set-up. Friendly service and will definitely recommend this seller.

Good pc, works and runs pretty smoothly. Only down side is the digital ports on the back seem a bit loose and occasionally lose connection

"Windows 11 Pro Optiplex Core i5 Series Desktop Small Form Desktop Tower PC (Intel Quad Core I5 4570, 8 Gb Ram, 120 SSD), (Renewed)" - a bit of an impulse buy and worth a punt for just £72 - turned out to be an absolute bargain! and a stopgap pc until I do a Win11 PC build (for better graphics/storage options) - I'm still on Windows 7! which is no longer security updated by Microsoft and is becoming more of a risk for online usage and so I saw this Dell mini-PC as a cheap way to familiarise myself with Win11. The images of the item didn't all match (different models I guess). From the description it is exactly what I got apart from the CPU being the slightly faster i5-6500. But I also wanted one with old-style PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports (shown in one of the images) which is just what I got - some of these Dell PCs offered don't have these so may be luck of the draw(?) - mine is the 7040 model - it has no VGA (or DVI) ports but does have 2x Displayports and 1x HDMI port (some models don't have HDMI), and plenty of USB ports (rear has 2x USB2.0 plus 3x USB3.0, front has 2x of each). Working DVD rewriter is a bonus. Delivered the very next day, well packaged. Came with little wifi dongle which set up quick, and a Displayport to VGA cable allowing me to quickly check it out with a backup monitor without having to hunt around for yet another cable. Booted up _very_ quickly. Windows 11 now requires that you have a Microsoft account (hmmm...) and once the (OOB) setup was completed the Windows 11 updates installed ok without any problems. The Win11 key is apparently embedded in the BIOS. Device Manager showed no issues. Event manager showed some issues (unsurprising) but nothing major. There appears to be a TPM2.0 module within (Trusted Platform Module - security feature), hardware which Win11 appears to require. After a week or two of updates a few more things popped up in Event Viewer requiring some internet research to sort. A driver update also seems to have caused the Memory Integrity protection to not function due to "incompatible driver" - as this is related to the onboard graphics I've not fiddled with it(!) - as far as I can ascertain it's not a major problem for us non-commercial users with not-always on PC with 24/7 online connection and is just one of a number of Win11's security features which, by all accounts, is much improved along with its built-in antivirus (so apparently no need for third-party antivirus). Six weeks on and all looks pretty pukka so I am very happy with this purchase. PS. Should've mentioned that mine came from Level3Computer.

I bought this PC was not because of windows 11 but to run Linux mint, the spec of this machine is excellent and runs Linux faster than any new windows 11 system and is comparable with my 12 months old Apple Mac. Delivery was brilliant and the cost was pitched just right.

Waste of money NOT Windows 11 compatible and crashes after update Avoid. This computer comes with windows 11, the computers processor is not supported by windows 11 and with the recent updates to windows 11 the computer starts failing. Yes it is cheep, Yes it will work but for how long is a gamble. I have had mine since February 2024 as of writing this review it has developed a fault that displays a blue screen with a stop code : CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. The computer tries to repair itself but fails again with the same error, the fail happens anywhere from 1-5 minutes to after rebooting. The seller have installed Windows 11 on unsupported CPUs using tools like Rufus to bypass checks, but these methods stop working with newer updates like version 24H2. Is there a work around ?. Probably if you don't update windows 11and also if the motherboard firmware was changed ( I can't find any way around it). Is it worth not updating? No updates contain security patches that are vital to keep your computer safe. The verdict is that yes its cheap, yes it is a clean well presented computer but its a waste of money considering windows 11 can no longer be used on it. I have lost a lot of work from this issue and now need to try and extract my files from the hard drive. As for the computer unless i put a Linux operating system on there then it is trash.

I needed to upgrade to Windows 11 owing to support ending for Windows 10. This was the best option, a renewed Dell. My Windows 10 is a refurbished Dell and has had no problems in 5 years. So far same with this and I fully expect it to operate as it should. So I am happy with this seller, happy with my PC. Great service, no problems, no fuss. Excellent all round.

Good quality & value for money. This item arrived in excellent condition and was in good working order.
