IBM NetVista 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Desktop Computer (Refurbished)

Rating

I bought this low-priced computer with expectations of a relatively poor quality machine. My expectations were unfounded as I soon realized when I received the computer. It works very fast, it has a large memory, and a large hard drive, and is easy to handle.

I have been very pleased with the performance of this computer. It has all of the features that I need with the exception of a few, an example being, microsoft word. It performs quickly, with any internet connection speed, and is capable of multi-tasking without slowing, performance.

The computer arrived with a physically broken mouse, but a replacement was shipped within the week. We seemed to have to go through several layers of evaluation and communication from Overstock, but it was pretty hassle-free in the end. Getting the right video card for it took some searching, and if you are unfamiliar with the different kinds of video cards that are available, the different kinds of slots in desktop computers, and the needs of current games, it takes some searching to find the right card. . I was disappointed that no documentation was included in the box, nor was there even a link from the Overstock site to a source for a manual for this computer. I managed to find the information online, but verifying it pertained to my particular model took longer than I would have liked. . In addition to the broken mouse, the included keyboard is almost certainly not equivalent to what the manufacturer originally supplied in anything but color. It's thin and flimsy and I would be concerned if it was going to get any heavier use than what I expect it will have in the near term. . But it is now playing the games it was bought to run and overall we're happy with it.

The IBM desktop is a very good buy for home use without paying a lot of money for computer . Very easy to install and get on line as I use a network in my home as we have laptop and for my wife`s computer.

When Microsoft dropped Windows ME support I began to think seriously about upgrading to XP. I had several years of experience with my current IBM NetVista and decided to look for the same configuration but with a Windows XP operating system. I found exactly what I was looking for at Overstock : Windows XP operating system, a faster processor, the Desktop format I wanted and in the price range I wanted. The unit is extremely quiet and the increase in access speed a real pleasure.
