Product Description

The Optiplex has always been Dell's flagship model. They were originally designed for heavy use in the corporate environment. They're built with higher quality components than you'll find in the typical off the shelf retail model. These are perfect for business or home. This computer has been fully refurbish. Every component is cleaned and tested for full functionality. Cosmetics are improved to show only minor wear. A fresh installation of Windows is performed with the included New license. This computer will arrive at your doorstep ready to use right out of the box. All necessary cables are included. This computer also includes a trial version of Microsoft Office 365. This enables you to try the all new version of Word-Excel-and Powerpoint. A standard open source Office Suite is also included. Microsoft Office 365 purchases beyond the included trial are not returnable or refundable.

After reaching out to SJ Computers, I spoke with a very helpful tech who did further troubleshooting of the power supply and concluded it failed. He then shipped out a new replacement power supply with 2 day delivery at no charge to me! Just finished installing the PSU and now I'm back in action! A BIG THANK YOU TO SJ COMPUTERS for your awesome support and help! Now THAT is exceptional customer service!EDIT: 5/30/2019: Replaced the DVD Rom drive that came with this computer with a CD/DVD/RW drive from my old computer and the 160GB drive with the 640GB drive from my old system. Putting Windows 10 on it was real easy now that Windows allows you to make a recovery drive on a USB flash stick. This system is real easy to replace components.Anybody can do it.Original Review below:Received the Dell Optiplex 780 computer today. It was very well packed and when I took it out of the box, I inspected the insides and it looked like it came fresh off the assembly line. Nice refurbishing job. Shipping was fast too.Powering it up for the first time, it took Windows 10 a LONG time to boot. But, that happens with any fresh install of Windows. It takes forever the first time you start it. After that, it doesn't take long at all to start. I expected that.Activating Windows 10 was pretty easy too, except trying to read the SMALL string of numbers and letters on the case sticker you need to enter during the activation process. I also expected that. But activation was a snap.Once I got the niceties of starting the computer for the first time and activating Windows 10, I got to see how it handles. It's a pretty speedy machine. Overall, much faster than the aging Acer Aspire that I am replacing this unit with. Seems very stable so far. And adding my external hard drive, webcam, and other accessories to the USB ports were a breeze. Overall, this is a great machine for the money.But, why not 5 stars instead of 4, you may ask? I'll tell you.1st, the advertisement is for an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.9GHz Processor. When I checked the hardware, it was actually an Intel Core Quad CPU 2.66GHz Processor. Not a deal breaker, and no big deal to me, but I expect to have the CPU advertised, and not a slower one. That in of itself would not have knocked the star off the raiting.But the big thing that did was the CD/DVD drive. When I went to install the WIFI dongle, I had to install the drivers from the included CD. Fair enough. But, when I pushed the button to open the CD drive, the door was jammed! It was only after several atteempts that I gave it a thump with my hand, that it finally opened. And opening/closing it shows it jams more often than opening on it's own without a a thump to the case. If this system is 100% "refurbished", then someone screwed the pooch royally during QA testing. That drive should have been rejected during refurbishing outright.Now, I'm NOT saying don't buy this system. Outside of those two quirks, this is a very capable machine and Windows 10 runs smooth and quick, and overall setup is a breeze. Had this machine been given a 2.9 GHz processor and not a 2.6 GHZ, and not had the intermediate jamming of the CD/DVD drive door, this would have easily rated a 5 stars with me.Would I buy this machine again? Sure. But next time, I'll choose another seller who'll make sure the CPU is at advertised speed and with a CD/DVD door that doesn't jam.

    This product arrived after three days of standard shipping, and I wasn't sure what to expect for a computer I just bought for around 90 bucks.

    Here's what I got:
    A computer-sized cardboard box.
    A Dell computer, as advertised, packed neatly within said box.
    A power cable.
    Two sheets of paper detailing warranty information and some information re: Blair Technology Group.
    A bunch of black foam packing rectangles.

    The computer itself is in excellent shape and arrived with a USB Wi-Fi adapter plugged into the back. Considering this model is most likely a retired office computer, I'm not surprised it doesn't have a Wi-Fi chip plugged into the motherboard. It would've relied solely on an ethernet cable in its previous life. This doesn't bother me, personally, and the USB receiver I got is pretty fast!

    The cable reaches far enough for most applications. There are some 'feet' on the side of the case, so you can stand it up or lay it down.

    After backing up files from my old machine, I plugged this thing in and it started right up - very quick! The setup process was much faster than I had anticipated - I couldn't take coffee breaks in between screens before the next thing was ready to go. A nice touch I've noticed is that the username on this computer was actually already set to my name. Checking the system tab revealed the specs are all as promised - except the hard drive I got is actually 256GB instead of 160GB. Can't complain about that!

    This computer is now my daily driver and I also use it for indie game development. Downloading Android Studio and updating the SDK is something that took hours on my old machine - getting it set up on this took less than thirty minutes, so the hard drive and USB Wi-Fi adapter are both exceptional performers. The hardware on this machine is pretty decent and could certainly be used for light gaming if you're into retro or indie titles. It can't run Forza 7 or anything super intensive, but Hyper Light Drifter, Iconoclasts and Saving Princess 1 and 2 all run with no hiccups whatsoever. Half-Life 2 runs great on this, too, so you're not too limited, just realize you won't be running Crysis on max settings.

    I read almost all of the 100+ reviews on this computer and I was sketched out at first, and noticed a few users claimed issues with their Windows 10 product key being no good. Fortunately I didn't run into that, Windows recognized my account and everything is sync'd up with no issues.

    Overall I'm very pleased with this, to say the least. What you get for $90-100 is a PC that runs Windows 10 with some respectable specs.

    If it burns my house down, you can expect me to be back here amending this with an angry rant on my smartphone, but for now, it was an excellent choice.

    It is a fast running computer. The Windows 10 works excellent, it just takes a while to set up. The start up is the same as any other Windows version computer. I bought mine for an excellent price around $95 and it is worth every bit of it. I have had it for two months and use it everyday to do basic computer work and some school studies. It is WiFi compatible but they send an antenna with it to pick up the WiFi service and the WiFi does not work on this device without out it. Also there is no Bluetooth, so you also have to buy separately a Bluetooth transmitter. The WiFi antenna they sent with it stopped working with this after a week and I made dozens of calls to local computer servicing businesses and they did not know why so I spent $15 to buy a new one which was very aggravating. Also the Windows Office products do not come with this device so you have to purchase them separately for like $99. It has numerous little bugs and fixes but just for an at home PC to do some work on it works fine. Not highly recommended otherwise. My best advise is to do your research and find out exactly what you need and are looking for... don't go wrong with a machine like this cause it can just become a money-drain like it has for me!!

    I am so happy I decided to shop on Amazon instead of at a higher priced computer store or department store. I found a high quality efficient tower so quickly, Amazon had all the information, amazing top brands like Dell and so easy to order online. Also I received my order before the date which really made me happy. I love my new computer Thanks Dell and Amazon.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It arrived and it works...

    Kinda confusing purchase. Didn’t receive tracking for a week and then i didn’t know if it was coming by CP or puraltor. Tracking number never worked. By surprise the PC came by puraltor. Didn’t come with a power cord and my monitor’s cord wasn’t compatible with the tower so it took a few days before I could get it up and running because I had to go buy new cords... so cost me a bit more then what I was expecting. Finally got it together and turned on and well... it runs. It’s a bit laggy but I’m just happy to have a running PC so I guess thank you. But not the best buying experience but not the worse.
