Compact desktop for everyday office work

The Dell Optiplex 3050 is a small-form-factor desktop computer powered by an Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor running at 3.2GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR4 memory and a 500GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed. Integrated AMD RADEON R5 430 graphics drive the display output. A wired keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

Check memory ceiling and drive bays before ordering

The system supports a maximum of 8GB of DDR4 memory, so the installed 4GB leaves limited room for expansion. Only SATA hard drives are fitted; there is no solid-state drive installed. Verify that your existing monitors use a video connection compatible with the integrated graphics outputs. The SuperMulti-DVD burner handles optical media if required.

Steady performance within thermal limits

The compact enclosure and integrated graphics are designed for sustained light productivity tasks rather than extended heavy workloads. Under continuous load the processor will operate within its thermal envelope without the acoustics of a larger tower. The 500GB hard drive provides consistent sequential throughput for standard business applications. The included Windows 10 Pro licence remains valid for the life of the device.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell Optiplex 3050 come with a monitor or must I buy one separately?

The box includes a wired keyboard and a wired mouse. A monitor is not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 4 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 8 GB maximum?

The system ships with 4 GB DDR4 and supports a maximum of 8 GB. Adding a second 4 GB module will fill both slots and double the available memory.

How does the integrated AMD RADEON R5 430 graphics perform inside the slim 3050 chassis?

The R5 430 handles everyday business applications and multi-monitor output. It is not intended for gaming or heavy 3D workloads.
