Dell OptiPlex 7090 SFF Core i7-10700 2.9 - HDD 1 TB - 32GB

I've only just got round to setting this up. As it happens I worked for Dell in a variety of roles, some of them technical, quite a few years ago but I've stayed loyal to the brand, and I'm not averse to sorting issues out myself. I bought the box to replace a still functional but aging Optiplex 790, which wouldn't upgrade to Windows 11, and I wanted a spec that would last. I was a shade disappointed that it didn't have an optical drive but I have a USB one so it's not a major drawback. I also failed to do my homework and found I couldn't connect my monitor to it owing to me not having a Displayport cable, (the 790 was DVI-D) which proved harder to obtain than I expected (Curry's PC World don't stock them in-store, but they could order me one - no thanks, I'm quite able to go on-line myself). I had also poked around inside and initially thought the hard drive was missing - then discovered it was an on-board 1Tb card - how technology has moved on...... Now up and running, and wow is it blisteringly quick - as it should be. This spec, albeit on a new platform, would have cost me more than double, had I ordered it from Dell. Last problem remaining is how to get MS Office on it without renting 365, which I refuse to do on principle. I thought I had one spare 2019 licence on a 3-licence dongle, but it refuses to install, claiming I'm running in S-mode, which I've checked I'm not. That's not the 7090's fault though.....my antiquated Lide25 Scanner managed to install, as did my (distinctly newer) HP 150n printer. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase

Perfect. Fast delivery in a solid, well-protected parcel. Computer in excellent condition, interior dusted. Added wifi dongle. Start-up went smoothly. Good surprise: Windows 11 Pro installed and activated (I was expecting Windows 10). Second surprise: two 256GB SSD disks instead of one 512GB. This is more practical and safer for regular back-ups. In conclusion, I would recommend this very serious seller. The only downside was the delivery by Chronopost. It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the driver arrived 15 minutes later than the time indicated. He stopped in front of my building and by the time I got down 3 flights of stairs to greet him, he had already left. I had to go to a relay point today to collect the parcel. But that's not the seller's fault.

The product received is satisfactory. It does not quite correspond to what was expected as the claimed 512Gb SSD disk turned out to be split into 2 drives one of which was on sata. Furthermore, on arrival, although the packaging was intact, the computer 'rattled' when I pulled it out: I found a piece of plastic and a screw loose inside. The latter represented a potential risk of short-circuiting the MB. I was therefore less satisfied than with my previous purchase (the suppliers were different: the first - excellent - Catalan, this French).

Very satisfied

Good product 👍
