Dell ECT1250 Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a new 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 PCIe NVMe M.2 solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics handles the display output.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your monitor provides either a DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 input to match the rear video ports. The wired peripherals connect via standard USB-A sockets, so no special drivers are required. Wireless connectivity relies on the MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 card with Bluetooth 5.4; ensure your router supports 802.11ax for best performance. A Gigabit Ethernet port is also available for a wired network link.

Build and Connectivity

The black chassis measures 12.76 inches high, 6.06 inches wide and 11.53 inches deep, weighing 12.02 pounds. Front access includes two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, a global headset jack and a media card reader. Rear I/O adds two more USB 3.2 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, the video outputs, the RJ-45 jack, a Kensington lock slot and a padlock loop for physical security.
