I love this computer. (IBM Computer System with 17" LCD screen, Item # 11937137) I bought it for my home use, e-mail, personal correspondence, copying recipies, The only thing I had to buy is the speakers. I am new to computers it was easy for me to install. I'm going to get one for my Mom, so she can e-mail the grandkids.

This IBM system was very easy to set up and came with several internet browsers, Norton antivirus and accessories like calculator, wordpad, notepad, and paint. It does not come pre-loaded with extra software packages like Micorosft Office so be prepared to purchase and install software separately. We set up kid and adult users and buried the control panel and boosted security settings on the kid user account. It was very easy to configure. This system was purchased for a child to get games off our home computer and is perfect for kids games. If this were to be a main home computer, I would suggest comparing this system plus the cost of software desired against pre-bundled systems. Keep in mind that this computer is about 5 year-old technology (XP among other things) but for our purpose it was very worth the price and is a great value.

This is far the best computer that I have owned. I have had several but this surpasses them all. It is a very fast computer and the price was very very reasonable. This is the way to buy them. (as a package deal) Everything is with it but the speakers and they are a reasonable item to purchase alone. I have found that overstock has very reasonable prices on all of their electronics.

Keyboard and mouse did not work out of the box. Replaced with wireless keyboard but later the power buttin on the tower stopped working.

• Did the image onsite match the product? Yes
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No. Keyboard and mouse had to be replaced prior to use. Both did not work. Weeks later the power buttin stopped functioning.
• How is the quality of the product? Junk

this is a very good product for at home or small bussiness i work it hard everyday

Rock solid machine, Literally. Computer is heavy and built tough. Appearance is neat and "techy" but the main advantage is the operating system...Windows XP professional. No bugs like vista. Using it as a work station on a network. For a stand alone computer, the memory and storage capacity would need to be upgraded. Good value

The refurbished IBM computer came with a few surprise enhancements. The hdd interface was upgraded from an EIDE type to a SATA. All worked flawlessly. This is the third refurbished purchase I have made and I am very happy with all of them. I will buy overstock refurbished again. I usually do not write reviews but the money I saved over buying new is a real positive.

Instead of the several years I wasted money on upgrading an old computer, I should and when the upgrades were too much for the orginal motherboard, i should have gone shopping at Overstock for a newer computer.The installation was a snap that even an preschooler could have done, it was packaged wonderfully and carefully but easy access. The delivery as usual from Overstock was earlier than predicted, which was great for me being I am a completely computer savy grandmother who cannot exist without a desk top at home. I have nothing but praise for this purchase of my IBM refurbished computer. It works better than the computer I have at work and it is owned by the government. My computer came with virus protection and IBM support package, utilities I have were a snap for recogniciton of the hardware and software addition was flawless.I keep looking into other great bargins such as this one especially at Overstocks web site daily, as I said I am a pretty savy dependent women of the electronic devine.

This computer is exceptionally well made (more sturdy than a Dell). It was very, very easy to set up and we have been very pleased with it.I would recommend it highly!

the system was supposed to have all Windows XP components...come to find out it didn't have even Microsoft Word, let alone excel, etc. The system is very slow, luckily I had some parts from my prior computer that still worked so I could get it up to speed. I should have saved up and bought a brand new computer, live and learn.
