Ready for Home Office Use

This Dell OptiPlex 990 SFF desktop is built for student and home-office workloads. An Intel quad-core i5 processor running between 2.9 GHz and 3.30 GHz handles everyday multitasking. The system ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a 128 GB 2.5-inch SSD for the operating system and core applications. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed.

Small Form Factor Integration

The SFF chassis fits on constrained desks while providing a DVD±RW drive for legacy media. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives display output without a discrete card. Gigabit Ethernet and a USB Wi-Fi adapter give flexible network connectivity. A USB keyboard and mouse are included so the system is operational immediately after adding a monitor.

Included Peripherals and Software

The bundled keyboard and mouse remove the need for separate input purchases. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit enables domain join, BitLocker and remote desktop features for professional environments. The DVD±RW drive allows software installation or data archiving from optical discs. The 128 GB SSD accelerates boot and application load times versus mechanical storage.
