SFF business desktop for office deployments

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 is a small-form-factor desktop built for business environments. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.20GHz. The compact chassis fits tight workspaces while providing standard desktop connectivity. Buyers who need a tower-sized expansion bay count should look elsewhere.

8 GB DDR3 memory with four total slots

The system includes 8 GB of DDR3 memory installed across four total slots. This capacity handles typical office multitasking and web-based workloads. The DDR3 standard means modules from other generations will not fit. Users who require more than 8 GB for memory-intensive applications will need to add modules.

256 GB SSD storage and integrated graphics

A 256 GB solid-state drive provides the boot volume and primary storage. Integrated Intel HD Graphics drives up to two DisplayPort monitors. The SSD capacity covers the operating system and a moderate document library. Heavy local media libraries or large project files will exceed the available space.
