Business-ready tower desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 Tower combines an Intel Core i5-6500 processor with 16GB of memory for everyday office and home tasks. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and ready to use. A 24-inch LED monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

128GB SSD plus 500GB HDD storage

The dual-drive layout pairs a 128GB solid-state drive for fast boot and application load times with a 500GB hard drive for larger file archives. This split lets the operating system run from flash storage while keeping bulk data on the mechanical disk.

Wireless peripherals and built-in Wi-Fi

A wireless keyboard and mouse remove cable clutter from the desk immediately. Built-in Wi-Fi adds cable-free network access without an extra adapter, so the system connects to a router straight out of the box.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.60 GHz turbo frequency mean for everyday workloads?

The i5-6500 can briefly reach 3.60 GHz on active cores, giving snappier response when opening apps or loading large spreadsheets, then drops back to 3.20 GHz to manage heat.

Which video outputs are available and what resolutions can they drive?

HDMI and DisplayPort are both present; each can drive the included 24 inch monitor at its native resolution without an adapter.

How much internal space is there for adding another drive?

The tower chassis provides standard 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch bays alongside the existing 500 GB HDD and 128 GB SSD, so a second hard drive or SSD can be fitted.
