Compact business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3050 Small Form Factor desktop ships with a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 at 3.2 GHz, 16GB DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. Its slim black chassis fits tight office spaces while providing Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort and one HDMI output. The system includes a DVD-RW drive and a genuine Microsoft COA sticker.

Suited for office tasks not legacy monitors

This unit serves well for general business applications, web browsing and multi-monitor productivity using DisplayPort or HDMI screens. Buyers who need VGA or DVI connections for older displays must add an adapter because the desktop has none. The integrated Intel HD 530 graphics and compact case also mean it is not built for demanding 3D workloads or full-height expansion cards.

512GB SSD capacity

The 512GB solid-state drive determines how much operating system, software and local data the PC can hold without external storage. If your workflow requires more onboard space, you will need to add a secondary drive or choose a model with a larger SSD.
