Tower form factor for office and home use

The DELL OptiPlex 5040 Tower is a desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.20GHz base and 3.60GHz turbo. It comes with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, and ships with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles display output through HDMI and DisplayPort connections.

Check monitor inputs and peripheral ports

Before ordering, confirm that your display accepts HDMI or DisplayPort signals, as these are the only video outputs provided. The system includes one RJ45 Ethernet port and front audio, plus four front USB sockets that operate at 2.0 and 3.0 speeds. Built-in Wi-Fi is present, so a wired network connection is optional.

Wireless keyboard and mouse with Wi-Fi included

The bundle supplies a wireless keyboard and mouse, removing the need to purchase separate input devices. Built-in Wi-Fi adds wireless networking without an extra adapter. A power cable completes the package so the tower can be set up and used immediately.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a monitor or do I need to buy one separately?

The package contains the OptiPlex 5040 tower, a wireless keyboard and mouse, built-in Wi-Fi and a power cable. A monitor is not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I pick the 512GB SSD or is there a larger drive option listed?

The only storage capacity shown for this unit is a 512GB SSD. No larger drive variant appears in the specifications.

What does the 3.60GHz turbo speed mean when I am running office applications?

The Intel Core i5-6500 can lift from its 3.20GHz base to 3.60GHz for short bursts, giving snappier response during peak loads such as large spreadsheets or multiple browser tabs.
