Need advice on All in One desktop computer
April 24, 2022 at

I have a dell optiplex 9010 and it runs so slow after being on for awhile and freezes. I want to find a new All in One and need to know what to look for. I don't know anything about computers. We just do everyday browsing and some financial stuff, no gaming. I want to get one that will be fast.

1. Open it up and blow out the dust with a gas duster. Built up dust could be causing it to overheat.
2. Consider replacing the hard drive, transfer everything over to a new SSD and replace the old HDD.
I often prefer a separate monitor and pc to an all in one.
This all-in-one is currently front page:

You might want to look at getting a desktop and monitor unless space is tight. I have mine on a desktop space in the kitchen so space is tight for me.
get a SSD and 16 GB of RAM if it only has 8Gb make sure it can be upgraded.

Price should be comparable and also a lot more portable if you need or want to move it.

even if it is a refurbished one?
I honestly cannot recall one of them being purchased new.
I have not had an issue with any of the systems to speak of, I have purchased servers for the
Federal Government that were refurbished with no issue.
Well one time Dell did send me the wrong server it was very close to the one that I had ordered. I contacted Dell and they were willing to do whatever I wanted as far as making it better. I decided to keep the Server as it had more RAM than the one that I ordered.

You have a better chance of a DOA on a new one since they do not turn on every computer, the refurbs each one is tested at the component level and as a whole. That is why they offer the same warranty as new. Some companies offer 60 or 90 day warranties and that shows their confidence in their products.
