OptiPlex 7020 SFF Desktop PC Computer i7 4770 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Windows 11 Pro 300Mbps WIFI (Renewed)

I wasn't expecting much but the extraordinarily low price for this relatively high spec workstation drew me in.You could pay 3 times more for an i7 with 16GB of RAM and my last performance PC cost me 7 times this.That said the graphics capability isn't going to set the gaming world on fire but not what I need it for however the dual DP video ports are great for many screens. It appears to easily handle multiple instances of very CPU intensive development environments without lagging, alongside my other wasteful blizzard of windows so can't complain.The 512 GB SSD is a bit on the small side for the C: drive and I would normally just add an additional large HDD. I did manage to cram the extra drive from my old PC into it after a bit of a struggle, the case is a mini with very limited drive bay space but is possible with a bit of ingenuity. I had to buy a SATA Power Splitter Cable as well because there were no spare SATA power sockets left inside.Pros:. Cheap. Fast (i7 + 16GB RAM). 2 DP Video ports. Win 11 ProCons:. Small case. Small SSD. Difficult to add extra hard disk. Upgrade options limitedSummary:A great buy at this price for a workhorse business machine.

Probably the easiest setup of a new computer I have ever experienced. Plugged in a keyboard, a mouse and a screen and pressed go and straight in to Windows 11 pro.Of cause at the price of £130 there are some downsides. Windows 11 will not update and intend to install Linux fairly soon. Also as others have pointed out the plugin Wi-Fi dongle is not the very best and the connection to the hub drops out occasionally. To be fair this is further from the hub than my other computers and I expect a higher gain dongle at under £20 will fix the problem. I will have to wait and see how it performs long-term, but my initial impression is that it is a great desktop PC for very little money.

Ok arrived a day late, so was a bit miffed ! but on arrival it was a 9020 model - so a slightly new model, not going to complain about that. Easy to set up no issues, very quick to start up and close down, and quick to open applications, compared to my old pc. I had been contemplating buying a refurbished pc and had been researching for a very long time, and finally made a decision to purchase one ! anyway after 2 /3 days I cannot fault the pc - I am pleased I made the decision - and only time will tell if the pc will last. Because I had an amazon voucher it cost me less than £100 and for what I got I think it's a good spec . There was a dent on the side of the pc and couple of scuff marks, but that was expected.Compared to my old pc it's so quick so well happy about that I went for the 16gb ram and would certainly recommend it, I am only using the pc for browsing, and using office 365 so for my needs this is sufficient. I am not a gamer so cannot recommend or provide any feedback in this area.Overall to date it's worth investing in a refurbished pc , if it lasts me a couple of years I will be happy !Update 16th April 2024 - no issues to date, very fast and meets my needs. Still have not tested the DVD/RW - not that I have any use for it !

FantasticWorks greatVery fastWindows 11Have not tried WiFi has hard weirdEasy to connect printerMouse keyboard monitor ectGreat valueHighly recommend

Pros:Very good CPU (processor)and can do most things and can do quite a lot of gaming too.Very clean inside the computer.Computer is upgradeable if you want something which is somewhat future-proof.Relatively easy to set up.The inbuilt graphics card is fairly good and can even handle low end gaming.QuietNotes:No HDMI ports. There is VGA and "display ports" (I have no idea what it is)Small. Your upgrade options (especially for graphics cards (used for gaming also known as GPU) are fairly limited because of how small it is compared to other computer towers.Comes pre-installed with Norton 360 and you can't get rid of it.Don't forget it doesn't come with Bluetooth.Cons:The WiFi dongle for me stopped working after a week of patchy connection and speed.Because the computer doesn't meet windows requirements but has windows 11, it will never update.Overall, fairly good value for money but be wary.

I have given this item a 5 star rating as for the first 4 months after purchase it was great - took up less dpace than my previous desktop but, unfortunately, from 4th April for 8 weeks due to illness and a revuperation holiday I was unable to use it. On return I found that it wouldn't boot up - if that is the correct term - so am now waiting for collection to be arranged for repair etc.

Works great 😃😃👍 but being SFF isn't suitable for upgrading
