Dell OptiPlex 7040 Mini-Tower Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 mini-tower desktop ships with an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.20GHz. It includes 8GB of DDR4 memory and a dual-drive layout combining a 256GB NVMe M.2 solid-state drive with a 500GB hard disk drive. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed and a DVD±RW optical drive is fitted.

Business users wanting integrated graphics only

This system suits office environments that rely on the built-in Intel HD Graphics 530 for standard productivity tasks and multi-monitor support. Buyers who need a discrete graphics card for CAD, rendering or gaming workloads should look at a different configuration. The Grade B cosmetic rating means visible scratches or surface marks are present on the chassis.

256GB NVMe M.2 SSD plus 500GB HDD storage

The decisive specification is the paired storage arrangement: a 256GB NVMe M.2 drive for fast boot and application loading alongside a 500GB mechanical drive for bulk data. Confirm that this capacity split matches the intended deployment before purchasing.
