Business tower desktop

The Dell OptiPlex tower ships with an 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8500 processor running at 3.00 GHz with a turbo frequency of up to 4.10 GHz across six cores. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 1TB solid-state drive provide fast boot times and responsive multitasking for office workloads. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and the system supports up to 128 GB of total memory. The compact black chassis fits standard workplace desks without a monitor included.

Wired input and wireless add-on

A wired keyboard and wired mouse are bundled so the system is ready to use immediately after connecting power and a display. A Bto WiFi adapter adds wireless networking without occupying an internal slot, while the included power cables complete the basic setup. These accessories remove the need to source separate input devices or a network dongle for typical office deployments.

Dual video outputs and legacy ports

Two DisplayPort connectors drive 4K displays directly from the integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 engine. Front and rear USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports handle peripherals and storage at their respective speeds, and a single RJ-45 jack provides wired Ethernet connectivity. The tower form factor allows internal expansion within the constraints of the OptiPlex chassis and standard power supply.

Questions about this item

Will the 1TB SSD need replacing before the 16GB DDR4 memory?

The 1TB SSD has a finite write endurance while the 16GB DDR4 does not wear out from writes, so the drive is the component more likely to require replacement first.

What limits sustained performance first, the i5-8500 reaching 4.10 GHz or the Intel HD Graphics 630?

The Intel HD Graphics 630 shares system memory and has modest compute resources, so graphics-heavy workloads hit its ceiling before the six-core CPU reaches its 4.10 GHz turbo limit.

How loud and hot does the tower get when the i5-8500 runs at 3.00 GHz all day?

The tower form factor and business-class cooling keep noise low and temperatures controlled during continuous operation at the 3.00 GHz base frequency.
