DELL OptiPlex 980 Desktop PC i7-870 2.93GHz 16GB DDR3 1TB HDD

OptiPlex 980 for Office Tasks

The Dell OptiPlex 980 is a desktop computer built around an Intel Core i7-870 quad-core processor running at 2.93 GHz. It comes with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 1 TB hard drive. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed with a Certificate of Authenticity. This configuration suits students and home-office users who need a ready-to-use system for everyday productivity.

16 GB DDR3 and 1 TB Storage Headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 RAM provides comfortable headroom for multitasking with multiple browser tabs, office suites and background services. The 1 TB hard drive holds a large local library of documents, photos and applications without immediate pressure to add external storage. The mechanical drive and older architecture will run out of steam with modern gaming, heavy video editing or large virtual-machine workloads that demand faster storage and newer instruction sets.

ATI Radeon HD 4550 and Legacy Connectivity

The ATI Radeon HD 4550 graphics card handles basic display output and light multimedia but is not suited for 3D rendering or current titles. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet, a DVD±RW drive, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters cover standard connectivity needs. Expansion slots include PCI and PCI Express x16 alongside legacy parallel and serial ports, plus multiple USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. The bundled keyboard and mouse allow immediate setup.
