Tower desktop for business users

The Dell OptiPlex Tower is a new desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5-8500 3.00GHz hexa-core processor that reaches 4.10GHz. It ships with 16GB DDR4 memory, a 2TB SSD and Windows 11 Pro, plus a wired keyboard, mouse and Wi-Fi adapter. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 drives up to two DisplayPort monitors at 4K resolution.

Suits office workloads, not graphics-intensive tasks

This system fits buyers who need a ready-to-run tower for productivity applications, multi-monitor setups and fast storage access. It is not for users who require a discrete graphics card, additional PCIe expansion cards beyond the available slots, or a chassis smaller than a standard tower footprint.

2TB SSD capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 2TB solid-state drive, which sets the total onboard storage available for the operating system, applications and data files.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel Core i5-8500 reaches its 4.10 GHz turbo after setup?

Open Task Manager's Performance tab and run a heavy workload; the CPU frequency graph should climb toward 4.10 GHz when all six cores are under load.

Which accessories are included and what must I provide myself?

The box contains the tower, a wired keyboard, a wired mouse, a Bto Wi-Fi adapter and power cables; you must supply your own monitor.

Should I choose the 16 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand to the 128 GB maximum?

Start with the installed 16 GB DDR4; add matched DDR4 modules later only if your workloads regularly exceed that capacity.
