Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics drives one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 output for dual-monitor setups.

Verify Your Peripherals and Network

The chassis provides one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 video port so confirm your monitors match those inputs. Front I/O includes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 ports and a global headset jack. Rear I/O adds two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports and a gigabit RJ-45 jack. Wireless connectivity uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 2x2 card with MU-MIMO and Bluetooth 5.4.

Sustained Workload Behaviour

The 24-core processor runs at a 2.5 GHz base frequency with a 36 MB L3 cache and can reach 5.60 GHz turbo under load. The Intel AI Boost NPU handles background AI tasks while the CPU manages compute-intensive workloads. Tower dimensions of 324.3 mm height, 154 mm width and 293 mm depth enclose a 5.45 kg chassis cooled by standard internal airflow.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a monitor or do I need to buy one separately?

The system ships with a Dell wired keyboard (KB216) and a Dell wired mouse (MS116). No monitor is included, so a display with HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 must be purchased separately.

The processor is listed as Core Ultra 9 285 with 24 cores — is that the only CPU option for this model?

This ECT1250 configuration is built around the Intel Core Ultra 9 285, a 24-core 2.5 GHz chip with 36 MB cache and turbo up to 5.60 GHz. No alternative CPU versions are offered for this SKU.

With Intel UHD Graphics instead of a discrete card, what kind of real-world performance can I expect for everyday workloads?

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics drives up to two monitors via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, handling office apps, web browsing, video playback and light creative tasks smoothly, while the 48 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory and 4 TB NVMe SSD keep the system responsive.
