Dell ECT1250 Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a new tower desktop computer built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 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 Home is pre-installed and a wired keyboard and mouse are included.

Suited to AI-assisted productivity.

This system suits professionals and students who want on-device AI acceleration from the integrated NPU and fast storage for large workloads. Buyers who need a dedicated graphics card for 3D rendering, high-frame-rate gaming or GPU compute should look at a different configuration because only Intel UHD Graphics are provided.

LGA 1851 socket defines upgrade path

The processor uses the LGA 1851 socket, so any future CPU upgrade must be compatible with that platform. The 32GB DDR5 memory and 2TB NVMe drive are already installed, and the chassis provides DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Type-A, USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
