Business Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a 36 MB L3 cache. It ships with 48 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse for immediate use.

Setup And Ports

The unit arrives assembled so installation is limited to connecting power, display and peripherals. Front and rear panels provide a mix of USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C ports plus a headset jack and media card reader. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics drives one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 output for dual-monitor configurations.

Platform Limits

The LGA 1851 socket and chipset define the upgrade boundary for future processors. Graphics performance is restricted to the integrated Intel UHD engine, so workloads that need discrete GPU acceleration fall outside the design target. Wireless connectivity uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 card with Bluetooth 5.4 and MU-MIMO support.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is running at its 2.5 GHz base and 5.60 GHz turbo speeds after setup?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab to watch the 24-core processor hit 2.5 GHz base clock and boost toward 5.60 GHz under load.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately for the Dell ECT1250?

The tower includes a Dell KB216 wired keyboard, MS116 wired mouse, and Windows 11 Pro; a monitor is not included and must be purchased separately.

Which configuration should I choose if I need 48 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 drive?

This single listed version already provides 48 GB DDR5 5600 MHz RAM and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, so no other capacity option is required.
