DELL OptiPlex 3050 Micro Desktop PC i5-7500T 2.70 GHz 4 GB 128 GB SSD

Ultra-compact business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro is a new desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5-7500T processor running at 2.70 GHz. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed in English, French and Spanish. The micro form factor uses 60% less surface area than traditional towers while supporting dual displays natively.

Thermals noise and power

The system is designed around a 35 W processor, keeping heat output and fan noise low in typical office workloads. Tool-less serviceability allows quick access to internal components for cleaning or upgrades without special tools. In-band management features simplify remote maintenance and monitoring across a fleet. The compact chassis maintains reliability despite the reduced footprint.

Upgrade path and fit

Memory can be expanded up to 32 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 for smoother multitasking and reduced visual stutter. Wireless performance uses 802.11 ac Wave 2 for stronger signals at greater distances from the router. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of internal storage or discrete graphics capability should consider larger form factors. The micro design does not accommodate full-size expansion cards or additional drive bays.
