Tower desktop with 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285

This new Dell ECT1250 tower ships with a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor running at 2.5 GHz with turbo up to 5.60 GHz, 32 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 4 TB NVMe SSD. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed alongside Intel UHD Graphics, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. A wired keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

Suits offices and homes needing strong

The 24-core CPU and large memory capacity handle heavy multitasking, content creation and AI-assisted workloads well. Buyers who require a discrete graphics card for 3D rendering, high-end gaming or GPU compute should consider a different system. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics drives up to two displays via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 outputs.

LGA 1851 socket limits future processor upgrades

The motherboard uses the LGA 1851 socket, so any later CPU change must stay within that platform. The 36 MB L3 cache and 5600 MHz memory speed are fixed by the installed processor and memory modules. Four USB 3.2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, one USB-C 3.2 port and gigabit Ethernet provide the wired connectivity.

Questions about this item

What are the exact tower dimensions so I can confirm it fits my desk space?

The tower measures 12.76 inches high, 6.06 inches wide and 11.53 inches deep, weighing 12.02 lb.

What is the correct order for connecting the wired keyboard, mouse and display before the first Windows 11 boot?

Plug the Dell KB216 keyboard and MS116 mouse into the rear USB 2.0 Type-A ports, connect a monitor to the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 output, then press the power button.

Which storage slot will need a compatible M.2 PCIe NVMe drive when I want more capacity later?

The 4 TB boot drive occupies one M.2 PCIe NVMe slot; any future capacity increase requires a second M.2 PCIe NVMe drive installed in the remaining slot.
