DELL OptiPlex 3050 Micro i7-7700T 8GB DDR4 512GB SSD Windows 11 Pro desktop PC

Compact desktop for office tasks

The Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro is a small-form-factor desktop built around an Intel Core i7-7700T processor with 4 cores and 8 threads running at a 2.90 GHz base clock and up to 3.80 GHz turbo. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB solid-state drive and Windows 11 Pro already installed. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 drives video output. A USB Wi-Fi adapter, keyboard and mouse are included so the system is ready for immediate use in home offices, schools or general business environments.

Micro chassis with standard ports

The tiny case fits on a desk shelf or behind a monitor and provides USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet and audio jacks for everyday connectivity. The included USB Wi-Fi adapter adds wireless networking without using an internal slot. Because the power supply is external, the unit runs quietly and leaves the full internal volume for the motherboard and drive. The package also supplies a wired keyboard and mouse so no extra peripherals are required to start working.

Limits of the integrated platform

The soldered CPU and integrated graphics cannot be upgraded, so buyers who need discrete GPU performance or more than 8GB of memory should consider a larger tower system. The single 2.5-inch drive bay means total internal storage stays at 512GB unless an external drive is added. Only two video outputs are available, limiting multi-monitor setups to two displays. The compact design also rules out internal expansion cards such as additional network or capture adapters.
