Great value, a little hard to set up WiFi

Great product for the price but challenging to setup wifi. I wound up hard wiring with an ethernet cable.

Seems to be a good value

This is the second machine that I purchased from them. I use the first one in a lab setting so it is not running all the time. the second machine appears to be stable however I am concerned about the reviews where buyers are having issues immediately or a few weeks of use.My plan is to use the second one in a daily setting but checking the devices, the 32 GB memory and the 1 TB harddrive are correct.I still have to try the WIFI usb 2.0 dongle on the second machine.

Overall very good

I’m happy with the computer. It’s case is a bit dinged up, but I don’t really care. It came with an old, antiquated 802.11N wireless USB WiFi adaptor which I could not get it to connect to my Wi-Fi for no matter what I tried. It would connect to the hotspot on my phone though, which I had to use to complete setup. After spending a while trying to make it work, I contacted their support listed in the documentation it came with and never got a response. Ended up buying an up to date adaptor myself just to be able to use the machine.

well pleased with the value.

use for everyday things. works great. good value

Amazon refurbished computers are a very good deal!

Unit was in new condition and worked perfectly.

Love it

I purchased mine for college because I needed something stronger and with more GB to run programs like Adobe Photoshop and AutoCAD/REVIT. I was hesitant to purchase this due to the negative reviews, but mine arrived quickly and was very well packaged. I was impressed with even the like-new smell when I pulled it out of the box and how CLEAN it looked, literally looked brand new. Just in case others may be wondering, no computer will come with that exact amount. Mine is a 1TB, it was close enough to that 1TB.It does come with a USB Bluetooth adaptor, which works just fine, and it also comes with a USB Wi-Fi adaptor. Both are small, and the Wi-Fi adaptor works, but it was moving too slowly. In my opinion, it is worth it to spend $20 or less on another one and you will be all set.Also, I purchased the 3-year warranty plan for less than $40, (which does not cover spill/water damage) and I would suggest to anyone else that they do the same.Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Good basic & somewhat capable desktop.

Did not come with the optical drive vs as advertised. Support person explained these models don’t have integrated dvd drives so they’re sending an external drive along with some extras for the inconvenience!

Multi-Monitor capable, Multimedia Refurbished PC, Well-worth the price.

As a former big IT manager, and a computer guru (or geek, if you prefer) all my life to this day, my opinion counts. If you need a PC easily capable of using 3-4 (and maybe more) monitors, this one is an excellent choice, competing with some tailor-made systems 10 times its price. Above all, this Seller is HONEST in disclosing that this is a refurbished system (unlike some other sellers, claiming their PC wares are “new” when they are clearly not, long beyond their OEM’s warranty). Since the risk of some components potentially dying is somewhat higher than with a brand-new PC, buy a 3-year protection plan with it, which affordably covers all the major risks. Granted, the repair crew put in a low-bandwidth wi-fi USB adapter, which is no problem: It works, but if you want high throughput Wi-Fi, just buy the fastest currently available USB 3.x Wi-Fi adapter (about $15-20). Granted, I haven’t had a chance yet to run all of the tests, but generally speaking I am quite satisfied, and again — the Seller is honest in describing this product, and to begin with — this is a good product, from a large reputable manufacturer, and from a good refurbisher-reseller.

Nice home PC

Such an improvement over my 10 year old PC that was on its last leg. Everything we needed to get started and connected. Fast for Internet and doing docs. Good storage space as well all at a reasonable price.

Refurbished Gives Top Value: Trust Refurbished Computers like New

Worked with refurbished desktop computers since founding own shop: not unfamiliar with ‘inners’ and augment with accessories … but never ever been disappointed in just opening and running any refurbed since Windows 7. This one is the best value so far, of a dozen desk and laptops over the years: 1TB SSD, 32GIG RAM, and an I7 model … check those stats at Discount Computers or Electronics and get sticker shock.I ought to get another … 🙂
