Dell Vostro 470

 

Business systems are often defined not just by how quickly they complete their assigned tasks, but how quickly the systems themselves get to market. For that reason, the Dell Vostro 470 deserves some significant plaudits: This is one of the first...

Dell Vostro 470

Pleasantly surprised at the quality and performance of the Dell 745 PCs purchased from Joy Systems. They came with Windows 7 Professional and boot within 30 seconds.

This computer would have cost twice as much if bought brand new. The item was exactly as described. Great computer at a great price!

The computer I got was the same as described. I only wish there was a note that there is no outlet for digital signal to the monitor. Otherwise, great value for the $$.
