I've bought several refurbished Dell computers over the years and for good reason: They are very dependable!This desktop is no different. The company who refurbished the computer did a pretty good job. I didn't have a problem activating or updating Windows 10. And the generic SSD works pretty well. Finally, the RAM included in the server isn't from no-name companies (in my desktop was Kingston and Crucial RAM).Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. If you're looking for a desktop you can install and run Linux OS, this model works pretty well. I'm running a dual-boot of Windows 10 and Fedora 31. Dell overall works well with Linux. Which is another reason why I buy them.
