Ready for daily office computing

This Dell OptiPlex 7040 MT desktop is built for everyday home or office tasks. The Intel Core i5-6500 processor runs at 3.2GHz with four cores to handle web browsing and Microsoft Office applications smoothly. A 1TB SSD provides fast storage for documents and programs. The system arrives without a monitor or pre-installed operating system.

Check memory slots and drive bays before ordering

The tower chassis uses an LGA1151 socket on the Intel Q170 chipset and includes four DDR4 memory slots. Only 4GB of RAM is installed from a maximum supported capacity of 32GB. Integrated Intel HD Graphics drives the video output. Verify that your existing DDR4 modules match the installed speed and that any additional SATA drives will fit the available trays.

Upgrades from older mechanical-drive desktops

Replacing a system that still relies on a hard drive with this 1TB SSD model delivers noticeably quicker boot and application load times. The jump is worthwhile when moving from a dual-core machine or one limited to 8GB of memory, because the four-core CPU and 32GB ceiling allow comfortable multitasking. Buyers who need discrete graphics or a pre-loaded Windows licence should look elsewhere.
