Compact Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3050 is a slim small-form-factor desktop built for everyday office tasks. It ships new with a quad-core Intel Core i5-6400 processor running at 2.7 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SATA solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed, and a wired keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

Office Users Seeking Simplicity

This system suits workers who need a quiet, space-saving PC for email, documents and browser-based apps with no separate graphics card to manage. Buyers who want more storage capacity or discrete graphics performance for creative workloads should look at a different configuration.

256 GB SATA SSD Boot Drive

The single 256 GB SATA solid-state drive provides the operating system volume and primary data storage. Its SATA interface determines the maximum sequential transfer rate, so large media libraries or heavy project files will require external or additional internal drives.
