Ready for home office

The OptiPlex 5040-T desktop arrives with a Core i5-6500 running at 3.2 GHz and 16 GB of memory. A 512 GB solid-state drive holds the operating system and everyday files. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed for immediate use.

Storage and multitasking headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of RAM keep multiple browser tabs and office suites responsive. The half-terabyte drive handles documents, spreadsheets and local backups without slowing down. Large media libraries or heavy virtual machines will eventually demand extra capacity.

Ports and daily convenience

Ten USB ports — four at 2.0 speed and six at 3.0 — give plenty of room for peripherals and flash drives. HDMI and DisplayPort outputs support dual-monitor setups for expanded workspace. A DVD-RW drive and bundled keyboard and mouse complete the package.

Questions about this item

Will the 16GB RAM and i5-6500 3.2GHz CPU keep up with my older USB 2.0 peripherals?

The system provides four USB 2.0 ports alongside six USB 3.0 ports, so legacy devices connect directly without adapters.

How can I confirm the 512GB drive and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit are performing correctly after first boot?

Open Settings > System > Storage to verify the 512GB capacity and Settings > System > About to confirm Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is activated.

Does the box include a monitor or do I need to buy one separately for the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs?

No monitor is included; a keyboard and mouse are supplied, so you only need to provide a display and cable.
