Very happy customer!

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017

This is a business grade machine (my last company was migrating to it in the most recent upgrade) that will blow you away. Tiny form factor, absolutely quiet (because of the solid state hard drive) with so much power and speed. Just the restart speed will make you smile every time you turn it on. Because of the small size, you don't have to worry about finding room for the computer. It has plenty of USB ports (USB 3) and supports two monitors (via two different video out ports, but that is not a problem). I paired it with a 4 terabyte external solid state drive https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STDR4000900/dp/B0196J43TE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 which was complete overkill since the Optiplex has 240 gig solid state hard drive. But you can never have too much memory. My old laptop is so noisy compared to this one it is not even fair. Very happy customer!

PC never worked. Seller denied return.
-Was originally sent with another users account already setup and password protected, we had to wipe with Win 10 disk
-Original hard drive image corrupted so bad we had to get Dell to send a replacement
-continual beeps and loud fan noise
-now computer will not turn on at all. Issue looks to be due to motherboard, as I’ve tested the rest of the system

SSD + Compact Size + Many Ports = Win

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

I almost can't believe what a powerful computer this is for how small it is. I think my Dad said at least 10x that he can't believe how small it is. From my standpoint, if you're looking for something simple and fast that won't take up much space, look no further. Unless you need to have a blu-ray/dvd/cdrom drive on your computer all the time, because it doesn't have that, though you can get USB plug-in blu-ray drive if you only need it on occasion. Price it out, know what your computing needs are. Almost anything you could or would need in excess of this machine you could easily solve with a USB plug-in on the rare times you may need those things. For every day basics this computer is fabulous. I'm so happy with this purchase. This has plenty of ports, it's small and it's fast because of the SSD. It's really quiet too. I would not however recommend it for hard-core gaming, although I do have a game running on it most of the time with no issues whatsoever.

I like the small stature. Worked just fine right out of the box. Easy to set up.

Excellent Micro Computer

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

From the moment I unpacked this small form computer, it has performed exceptionally. I mounted it to the underside of my desk out of the way and its extremely quiet and small. I never hear a fan or any other noise. Love that it checks for Intel software updates constantly and notifies me. I have now owned it for over 1 year and never had one issue. Is very fast and powers a 34" screen with multiple programs operating simultaneously. I am a small business owner and would recommend this to anyone. Not a gamer here so can't comment on gaming power. This is strictly a workhorse for me.

There is a newer model Dell OP3060MFFXKF5K OptiPlex 3060 XKF5K Micro PC

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is an older model. Although the performance is good, interested buyer should buy the newer model with 8th Intel processor and M.2 SSD storage. The newer model is also available in Amazon.

Great Space Saver and Quite Powerful!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017

Awesome little computer, quite capable and fast. My only regrets are that there aren't enough USB connections. Otherwise it's a breeze to work with, setup and enjoy! Takes little or no space, I installed a peripheral external Harddrive-DVD and USB hub and I was off to the races!

Great so far, but a few issues with Windows 10 and this unit

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

This was perfect for my small desk with 2 monitors. I have run into some issues with Windows 10 and this unit so I thought I would post my fixes to help others. Both issues fixed with the same resolution. Also I would highly recommend adding another 8GB of RAM, which is very easy, and you can find videos on YouTube on how to install for those less tech savy.

Issue 1: No sound with external speaker plugged in
Issue 2: 2nd monitor, won't detect connection via HDMI

Both issues were resolved by downloading the latest driver for the Intel HD Graphics 630. While Windows 10 generally does a good job with drivers, it was using an older driver and when trying to update automatically it would say you are using the correct driver currently.

Once the driver is updated your 2nd monitor should detect the connection via HDMI. For the audio issue do a search for sound settings via Cortana. Select your Speakers/Headphones option and click the down arrow next to Set Default and select Default Communications Device (This would not stay as Default until driver was updated)

Hope this helps others as this is the only issues I have had.

power brick

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019

I bought this computer July 2019 and already the power brick is going (power cord). :(
UPDATE: I found out the power cord was pulled out a bit from the back of the computer, it wasn't the power cord at all so still good to go with this computer. no other issues
