What Buyers Say
Dell Tower Desktop ECT1250 Black 2025
65 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The OptiPlex 7060 Micro receives mixed feedback. Many verified buyers praise its speed, compact size, and good value as a refurbished business-class machine, especially for casual use or server projects. However, a detailed negative review highlights serious refurbishment problems: missing parts, third-party USB WiFi, wrong BIOS, and poor cosmetic condition. The experience depends heavily on the specific seller and whether the buyer is technically savvy enough to resolve setup issues.
