DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF desktop for home office

The DELL OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor desktop is built for student and home-office tasks. It runs Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit on an Intel Core i5-6500 processor at 3.20 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles display output without a discrete card. The compact chassis measures 11.4 x 11.5 x 3.6 and includes a DVD-RW drive.

Limits of the integrated graphics and SFF design

Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 shares system memory and is suited to office applications and media playback rather than 3D rendering or modern gaming. The Small Form Factor case restricts internal expansion to low-profile cards and the four DDR4 slots supporting up to 64 GB total. Gigabit LAN at 10/100/1000 Mbps provides wired networking only; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not included.

256 GB SSD capacity decides fit

The 256 GB solid-state drive offers faster boot and load times than a mechanical drive with no moving parts or noise. It can hold roughly 64000 songs, 150590 photos or 64 1080p HD movies. Buyers who need more storage for large media libraries or virtual machines will need to add drives or choose a different system.
