Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF Business Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 5040 is a Small Form Factor business desktop powered by an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.20GHz. It comes equipped with 16GB of DDR3 memory and a 256GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and the chassis includes a DVD-RW optical drive.

Suits Office Teams Needing Compact Deployments

The small footprint suits offices deploying fleets where desk space is limited and integrated Intel HD Graphics meet the display needs. Buyers who want more storage or a dedicated graphics card for heavier visual workloads should look at larger form factors. The four total memory slots allow future expansion if required.

256GB SSD Handles Core Applications

The 256GB drive provides enough room for the operating system, office suites and typical business data sets. Users working with large media libraries or extensive local databases will reach capacity quickly and need external or secondary storage. Integrated gigabit LAN supports standard wired network speeds.
