About Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Desktop Computer PC
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
87% appreciated the premium build quality, while 13% found it lacking
I have complained about the quality of the mouse and keyboard that came with the computer. They are of much cheaper quality and smell terrible right out of the box. I have tried everything to get the smell out of the keyboard but it still stinks. The reason I am trying to make this keyboard work is because it is wireless and convenient but it is not worth it at this point. I bought the computer almost 2 weeks ago and the smell has not gotten better. I will have to switch to the wired keyboard I was planning on using.
86% liked the numerous connectivity options, but 14% found them limited
The wifi is not built-in as claimed in the listing. Instead, there is a USB that acts as the wifi stick that I have to plug in.
I was unable to test the computer's full capability as it did not have the listed built-in wifi and Bluetooth.
I was disappointed that my computer did not have a VGA connection port for my monitor, so I had to find a HDMI cable to hook it up.
94% liked the generous memory and storage capacity, while 6% found it insufficient
I like having 3Tb of storage with 1Tb SSD and 2Tb HDD.
I have everything I wanted in my computer, including tons of storage and built-in wifi that works great.
I kept getting memory management error on the tablet.
I experienced the lack of NVME drive, but the motherboard has the port for it. It is an experience-rich sentence.
95% praised for its whisper-quiet operation, though 5% found it noisy
It is not possible to rephrase as the user did not mention the noise level of the computer.
80% appreciated the reliable power supply, though 20% experienced power issues
The machine is fast due to its 1TB SSD main drive.
I found out that the power supply has a short and when I touch the cord, the whole system cuts out.
Rephrased: The power supply has a short and when I touch the cord, the whole system cuts out.
95% praised for its blistering processing speed
I am not sure if the system can be upgraded to Windows-11, but I can run the latest version of my 3D-CAD and video editing programs with my current configuration of Windows-10, 32 GB of RAM, a 1-TB SSD and a 2-TB HDD.
84% appreciated the easy upgradability options
