Ready-to-use business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 is a small-form-factor desktop pre-loaded with Windows 11 Pro. It ships with an Intel Core i7-6700 processor at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of memory. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives display output. A 240 GB solid-state drive provides the boot volume and a DVD+/-RW optical drive is fitted.

Office teams needing a compact Windows 11 machine

This configuration suits general office applications, web-based workloads and multi-monitor productivity using integrated graphics. Buyers who need a discrete graphics card for CAD, rendering or gaming should look elsewhere. The small chassis also limits internal expansion, so users requiring multiple add-in cards or additional 3.5-inch drive bays will need a larger platform.

240 GB solid-state boot drive

The single 240 GB SSD determines how much software and local data can reside on the system without external storage. If the workload demands more onboard capacity for large datasets, media libraries or virtual machines, this drive size will be a constraint.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Intel Core i7-6700 draw during all-day operation?

The Intel Core i7-6700 runs at 3.4 GHz base frequency with integrated Intel HD Graphics 530, and the system includes a 240 GB SSD which has no moving parts to add heat.

What else must I already own for this desktop to work?

A monitor is not included, so you need a display with a compatible video input; the tower, power cord and a USB Wi-Fi adapter for 2.4 G and 5 G connectivity are supplied in the box.

Will my older USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse work with this OptiPlex 5040?

Yes, the USB ports on this desktop are backward compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals, and Windows 11 Pro will recognise standard keyboards and mice without extra drivers.
