Product Positioning

The DELL ECT1250 tower desktop is built for business, education and everyday users who need a new Windows 11 Pro system with a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. It ships with a wired keyboard and mouse so it is ready to work immediately. Buyers who need more than 16GB of memory or a higher-tier graphics card for heavy 3D work should look elsewhere.

Memory and Storage Headroom

The system includes 16GB of DDR5 5600 MHz RAM and a 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid-state drive. That capacity handles typical office suites, browser workloads and light creative tasks comfortably. Users running large virtual machines, extensive video timelines or memory-hungry datasets will reach the 16GB limit and the single NVMe slot cannot be supplemented internally without replacing the drive.

Connectivity and Display Limits

Video output relies on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 card which provides one DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.1 and one DVI port. Wired networking is limited to a single gigabit Ethernet jack while wireless uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 2x2 802.11ax MU-MIMO adapter with Bluetooth 5.4. Front I/O offers two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A; the rear adds two more USB 3.2 Type-A and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports.

Questions about this item

Will my Dell KB216 wired keyboard and MS116 wired mouse plug straight into the front USB 2.0 ports on the ECT1250 tower?

Yes. The front panel includes two USB 2.0 Type-A ports that accept the wired keyboard and mouse supplied with the system.

How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is running at its 3.7 GHz base speed and 5.70 GHz turbo after I build the PC?

Open Task Manager in Windows 11 Pro, select the Performance tab and watch the CPU clock readout under load; it will show the current frequency scaling between base and turbo.

Does the box contain a display cable for the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 outputs on the RTX 3050?

The package includes the tower, a Dell KB216 wired keyboard, a Dell MS116 wired mouse and a power cord; a monitor and any video cable must be purchased separately.
