DellOptiplex 7010 Tower Business Desktop, 13th Gen Intel i7-13700 Processor (16-Cores), 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, DVD-RW, DP Port, HDMI, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, Windows 11 Pro

Was not at all happy that the Wi-Fi stopped working after one month of use - just as I needed to download a file to fix a website. (EDIT: I concluded that the Wi-Fi is susceptible to interference, but from what has not been discerned. Pehaps it was proximity to the Wi-Fi in the nearby old PC that has since been turned off. The new Wi-Fi is working once more.)The cabinet size is terrific compared to the Corsair 500R ATX Mid Tower case for the PC I assembled a dozen years ago. I did not see a Wi-Fi card where I expected it to be, so I dug out an Ethernet cable and got the Internet connection back.Unlike the Corsair cabinet with all its fans and associated noise, this cabinet has a single fan directed over the top of the CPU. The cabinet is wonderfully quiet.I have no idea why, but I inadvertently tagged the caps button more times on the wired keyboard than I have in all my years of keyboard use. I replaced the keyboard with a wireless. Same with the mouse.The PC does not have audio ports that would support my old Bose Companion 3 speakers, so I am looking for a 3.5mm to USB adapter. That is not a ding on Dell, just an observation. The speaker in the Dell PC is not high quality - since the case is under the desk and sound is muffled. More to follow - I need to research the audio cable and Wi-Fi card....(Edit: once the Internet connection returned with the Ethernet cable, I leaned what the WLAN card looks like. And I purchased a nifty 5" patch cord that took longer to get out of the packaging than it did to insert inline. The Old Bose speakers are far superior to the thing in the case - and they are stereo with woofer. OK, fair enough, the speakers add a little to desk clutter, but I chose sound quality as the key factor. Remember, I got rid of the wires for the keyboard and mouse - less clutter.)I added a star back now that I have a more clear understanding of the Wi-Fi card issue.

very bad experience with this desktop. The network connection is so poor- always doing on and off type of stuff. My old desktop is slow but does not have network issue like this one and all of the other three laptop does not have this problem too. not sure if the problem s from network adaptor or win11 pro, anyway, has to return it after trying all the means. Soooo disappointed!Just returned this desktop and bought a HP desktop with similiar price. Now everything is good.

I love this machine, it replaced a 13 year old Windows 7 platform. For what I do, word processing, light graphics and web browsing, this machine is super fast and quiet. I love the i7 processor and the SSD, 32 gig of ram is real snappy as well. Very easy to set-up, it took longer than expected to install Windows 11 Pro. Took around 40 minutes to load. After that set-up was pretty straight forward. For a tower the footprint is relatively small. So far no issues with the machine, my first Dell. Happy customer.

CONS: Arrived in a very small but well packed box. No instructions or owner's manual. Had to go to the DELL website to download the manual. Half the size of my previous tower. No front 3.5 or 5.25 bays. No option to read chips from camera or other storage devices, no options to read temp inside the computer. Not enough USB ports to compensate for the shortfalls. You must manually install other USB port options. Concerned about the power fan as it makes very little noise and goes up and down as power is applied. Could be a good tech improvement.PROS: Lightening fast with the 64-memory option. Boots up extremely fast compared to my older WIN10 computer. Was able to easily find all of my previous computer software to include website addresses, software links and most passwords. Re-installation of older Windows programs was relatively easy to do. It takes a few days to understand and tweak Windows 11, but once you do it is fine. I was easily able to add a new 1TB SATA drive inside of the computer to add more storage space. This new computer was actually already pre-wired to do this, and it only took a few moments. Mount second hard drive, connect data and power wires, reboot and you are done. You need to go to Settings and then Storage to activate your newly added hard drive. It is a bit cumbersome but doable, and it is now working fine as a second hard drive. There are many options on the Motherboard that they do not point out for whatever reason.BLUF: Very satisfied. Very fast, very smart, very workable. Graphics are fantastic. Do your research on this computer and the options are endless.

The perfect desktop computer with all the functions, and bells and whistles, that I need at a a very affordable price. I am delighted with this purchase!

The setup software is easy to use. If you connect to your old computer via your home network to copy your data, it can be complicated. I had to make multiple searches online to get all the setting right for that.Beyond the scooe of this vendor, if you connect to a Google Drive that is used on multiple devices, chose backup options carefully so you don't overloaded the other devices with pictures and videos.

Slow as dial-up. I bought the 32 RAM version which should have been plenty for me yet this machine spends a surreal amount of time "thinking" before it finally let's you go anywhere. I had a custom "gamer" PC before this which had instant response, but since I'm not a gamer I switched out. BAD mistake. This responds like a dial-up toy...

Ordered two. One installed/deployed without a problem. Second one has chronic problem of automatically disconnecting from the ethernet network. My computer tech company has spent many hours correcting and re-correcting the problem. Most troublesome was discovering that the Dell warranty begins when the product leaves Dell, which apparently was in December 2023. When we purchased the computer from the Amazon seller in April 2025 it must have been sitting on the seller's shelf for more than one year because the Dell warranty expiration is May 8, 2025 (a little more than one month after we purchased it). BEWARE - Dell warranty can begin many months before your purchase!!
