Tower desktop with Core Ultra 9 285

The ECT1250 is a 2025 tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and 36MB L3 cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 2TB NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed alongside a wired keyboard and mouse. The system targets business, education and everyday users who need a complete, ready-to-run workstation.

Graphics and connectivity limits

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 provides 6GB of GDDR6 video memory and outputs through one DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.1 and one DVI port. Wireless connectivity uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 card with 2x2 MU-MIMO and Bluetooth 5.4, while wired networking runs at gigabit speeds. Front I/O includes two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, plus a headset jack and media card reader. Rear I/O adds two USB 3.2 Type-A and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports.

Installation notes and common issues

The tower measures 324.3 mm high, 154 mm wide and 293 mm deep, weighing 5.45 kg, so verify desk or floor space before unboxing. Only a wired keyboard and mouse are included; a monitor must be sourced separately. The LGA 1851 socket limits future processor upgrades to compatible Intel Core Ultra chips. Internal expansion room is constrained by the compact chassis, which may restrict additional drives or larger add-in cards.
