Dell ECT1250 Tower for AI‑enabled work

The Dell ECT1250 is a new tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a 36 MB L3 cache. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MHz, a 512 GB PCIe NVMe solid‑state drive and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with 6 GB of GDDR6 video memory. Windows 11 Pro is pre‑installed and a wired keyboard and mouse are included.

Suits business, education and everyday users

This configuration fits buyers who want a ready‑to‑use PC for office productivity, classroom tasks and general home computing with the added benefit of an on‑board NPU for AI‑assisted features. It is not intended for buyers who require more than 16 GB of system memory, larger local storage or a higher‑tier graphics card for intensive creative or gaming workloads.

LGA 1851 socket determines CPU upgrade path

The processor uses an LGA 1851 socket, so any future CPU change must match that specific socket type. The motherboard chipset and power delivery are not detailed in the specifications, so compatibility with other LGA 1851 processors cannot be assumed.
