All-in-One for Office Work

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 AIO combines a 22-inch Full HD display with a 6th Gen Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3L memory and a dual-drive configuration: a 256 GB M.2 SSD plus a 1 TB SSD. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed, making it ready for immediate business deployment.

Bundled Peripherals and Connectivity

A USB keyboard and mouse are included, along with a 5 GHz-capable USB wireless dongle for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The chassis provides USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, dual DisplayPort and HDMI video outputs, an SD card reader, a universal audio jack, a serial port and a 9.5 mm DVD-ROM drive. An optional VGA port and a 92% efficient PSU are also noted.

Simple Desk Setup

The all-in-one form factor integrates the PC into the monitor stand, so installation only requires connecting the power cable and the bundled peripherals. The compact SFF design saves desk space but limits internal upgrade access. Buyers who need discrete graphics, additional drive bays or user-serviceable memory slots should consider a separate tower and monitor combination.
