This is a good buy if you are a library or non-profit that can upgrade the OS cheaply via the Microsoft donation program at Techsoup.org. The BIOS and drivers will need to be updated, and these systems can run Windows 7 or 8 quite nicely, though neither newer OS is supported by Dell. These can use 2Rx8 or 1Rx8 DDR2 RAM, but it's not a good idea to mix types, at least not within memory pairs. Updating to open source OpenOffice 4 of LibreOffice 4 will give you Microsoft Office compatibility also at low-cost. The Dell Optiplex line has a good track record for reliability at enterprise level, and I have personally used them in a 35-seat non-profit community computer training room/office with very good results.
This wireless system came with WIN PRO 10. It is fast, quiet and perfect for multitasking. The key board is not wireless but works better, than my old wireless keyboard. No need to keep replacing batteries. The price and free shipping on this re-manufactured tower with keyboard was a great bargain and it is as good if not the same as a brand new one. I don't have anything negative to say. I recommend this Desktop to anyone looking to save money and at the same time get a system with all the security and software you need for an in home office, a gaming console, or a photo processor. You can do it all with this system.

Good computer, although some apps crash while running Ubuntu Linux. The one that I bought has a few issues though, like a broken case cooling fan (which doubles as a CPU fan). Since only one out of two fans are working, the computer runs much warmer than my full-sized desktop. It almost runs as warm as my laptop. Plays 1080P HD video without any trouble at all. The smallest version has no room for expandability, which is fine if you are not using it for video games. I believe you can add a video card to the larger models. If you can get one of these for a good price, go for it. It will run most modern operating systems. Hope this helps!
Dear 'Tech Deals Now', I am very satisfied and happy with my purchase of your refurbished but like new Dell OptiPlex 755 with the ATI Radeon HD5450 Video Card and the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. I assist my elderly sister-in-law on a fixed income with her computer needs. She is quite sharp, likes to play computer games, and communicates with her children with e-mail and on Facebook Her old tower PC had a Windows XP operating system which was soon to expire. Her PC did not have the capacity to run Windows 7 or even Vista. She wanted to continue to use a tower PC and not a laptop. I wanted her to stay on a Windows operating system and not have to suffer using a different Linux operating system. This OptiPlex 755 with Windows 7 and the graphics card has been the perfect solution for her expiring XP operating system. I have just finished getting her on the Internet and migrating her files and programs. She is now using the OptiPlex computer, experiencing little change, and encountering minimal difficulties. Thank you for providing the information sheets. I registered the Windows 7 operating system using the telephone. Thanks for putting drivers and installation programs in a single folder. I could not back them up to a disk since the computer just has a read-only DVD drive. My sister-in-law really does not need to create DVD's. I opened a free on-line storage account for my sister-in-law and backed your folder to the Cloud along with the network adapter driver I installed. I will also be backing up her photos to the Cloud. I was happy not to find a lot of extra software and files on the computer. Of course, I have installed the programs my sister-in-law was using on her old computer. In the process, I have tested most functions of the OptiPlex 755 and everthing is working very well. The PC runs quickly and remains cool. I initially used my small HD TV as a monitor and was impressed with the graphics. I bought an inexpensive 'DVI-I to VGA' adapter, so she is now using her old VGA monitor. I briefly had both my HD TV and her VGA monitor hooked up and was impressed with the dual monitor function. I had to lower screen resolution a little bit and adjust text size so her screen is very similer to what she saw before. The picture on her old monitor is quite nice. In the future, I hope she can obtain a larger HD monitor. Both my sister-in-law and I are on fixed incomes, so the low price of the computer was so nice. It cost a third less than her previous tower computer which we bought from Walmart and is more than twice the computer. In fact, I first saw Walmart selling refurbished Dell OptiPlexes, then I happily found you, 'Tech Deals Now', on eBay, selling refurbished Dell OptiPlexes for a lot less. In addition, you offer technical assistance and a year's warranty. I read some of the negative reviews 'Tech Deals Now' has received for its refurbished computers. I think they are mainly the result of individuals being impatient and not paying attention to the details you provide. I hope this review will encourage others to purchase 'Tech Deals Now' products. Thanks for being our perfect solution for the Windows XP expiration. David S. WattsRead full review
This was a great replacement and has worked well so far. The only issue is that since it was made for the office it had no wifi abilities, so I had to get a wifi adapter when we switched the mobile air card for one with wifi capabilities. It is quiet so far and I've not had any issues with it.
