Dell OptiPlex 390 desktop PC

This Dell OptiPlex 390 desktop PC ships as a lot of five units. Each system uses a second-generation Intel Core i3 dual-core processor with 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a 3.5" 250 GB SATA hard drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives video through HDMI and VGA outputs. A DVD SATA drive, USB keyboard and mouse are included. No operating system is installed, only a Windows 7 COA label.

DDR3 memory and SATA storage limits

The platform supports DDR3 memory up to 8 GB total, so the installed 4 GB leaves one slot or higher-density modules for expansion. Storage uses 3.5" SATA hard drives; the supplied 250 GB unit can be replaced or supplemented within the chassis. Connectivity relies on USB 2.0 ports and integrated Gigabit Ethernet at 10/100/1000 speeds. Video output is limited to the onboard HDMI and VGA connectors.

Capacity and headroom for everyday tasks

The dual-core i3 and 4 GB of RAM handle web browsing, office applications and video playback comfortably. The 250 GB drive holds the operating system, applications and a moderate document library. Memory-intensive workloads or large media collections will exceed the 8 GB ceiling and the single drive bay. Buyers needing more memory capacity, faster storage interfaces or discrete graphics should consider other platforms.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 4 GB DDR3 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 4 GB DDR3 and supports up to 8 GB, so you can start with the included amount and upgrade if your workloads need more headroom.

What does the 250 GB SATA hard drive mean for everyday use?

It provides 250 GB of mechanical storage on a 3.5" SATA drive, enough for the OS, documents and light media, but slower than solid-state alternatives.

How does the Intel HD Graphics 2000 perform over the HDMI port?

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives the HDMI output at up to 1080p for office tasks and video playback; it is not suited for modern 3D gaming.
