Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

This small-form-factor desktop ships new with an Intel Core i5 6500 quad-core processor at 3.2 GHz, 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed and the chassis includes a DVD-ROM drive. It is aimed at office workers and home users who need a compact, ready-to-run system for everyday productivity.

Video outputs limited to DisplayPort and HDMI

The unit provides two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port but no VGA or DVI sockets. Buyers with older monitors that only accept analogue inputs will need an active adapter or a different cable to connect a display. This is the single specification that determines whether the PC fits an existing screen setup.

65 W processor in a slim chassis

The 65 W TDP CPU runs at 3.2 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache and relies on the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. In normal office workloads the small-form-factor cooler keeps temperatures modest and fan noise low, while total system power draw stays well within the limits of the standard internal supply.
