DELL Pro Micro QCM1250 MFF desktop PC Intel Core i5-14500T 48GB DDR5 1TB NVMe

Compact business desktop

The Dell Pro Micro QCM1250 is a micro form factor desktop built around an Intel Core i5-14500T vPro processor with 14 cores and a 4.80 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It ships with 48GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1TB PCIe NVMe solid state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, and a wired keyboard and mouse are included. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles display output through DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1.

Step up from 8-core or lower systems

The 14-core architecture provides a measurable jump for users moving from 8-core or 10-core platforms who run multiple business applications, virtual machines, or large datasets simultaneously. The vPro feature set adds hardware-based manageability and security functions that are absent on non-vPro chips. Buyers whose daily work stays within single-threaded office tasks or light web browsing will not see a proportional benefit from the additional cores.

Micro chassis limits internal expansion

The 1.41-inch wide case uses an LGA 1700 socket but offers no room for add-in cards or 2.5-inch drives. Storage upgrades are restricted to the single M.2 PCIe NVMe slot already occupied by the 1TB drive. Rear I/O supplies Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E AX211 with Bluetooth, two DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1 video outputs, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port at 10 Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports.
