Ultracompact business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro Tower is an ultracompact, energy-efficient desktop built for business deployment. It ships with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed and includes a wired keyboard and mouse. The system supports up to three displays for multi-monitor productivity.

Best for single-monitor office work

This PC suits buyers who need a small, quiet tower for everyday office applications and web-based tasks. The integrated Intel HD Graphics handles standard business software without a discrete card. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a dedicated graphics processor for intensive rendering should look at a different configuration.

500 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive

The primary storage is a 500 GB SATA hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM, which determines boot speed and file access times. The motherboard accepts up to 16 GB of DDR4 memory across its slots. Verify that this drive capacity and memory ceiling match your workload before purchasing.
