DELL OptiPlex 790 USFF All-in-One PC i5-2400 3.10GHz 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD 22" Monitor Win 10 Pro

Dell OptiPlex 790 USFF All-in-One

The Dell OptiPlex 790 USFF All-in-One combines a 22-inch widescreen LCD monitor with the computing unit in a single black and silver chassis. It runs on an Intel Core i5-2400 quad-core processor operating between 2.9 GHz and 3.10 GHz with a turbo boost up to 3.4 GHz. The system includes 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 128 GB SSD, a 16X DVD±RW drive and integrated Intel HD Graphics 200. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed alongside a USB keyboard and mouse. Gigabit Ethernet provides wired network connectivity.

Upgrade from older desktops or basic laptops

This all-in-one replaces tower desktops that require separate monitors, cables and power outlets. The jump is worthwhile when desk space is limited and a quiet, integrated setup with an included display is preferred. It also supersedes systems still running mechanical hard drives, because the 128 GB SSD delivers faster boot and application load times. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance, multiple internal drive bays or user-upgradable CPU sockets should look elsewhere.

128 GB SSD and 8 GB DDR3 for everyday workloads

The 128 GB solid-state drive comfortably holds the operating system, office suites and a modest library of documents or media files. Eight gigabytes of DDR3 memory handles web browsing, email and standard productivity tasks without excessive paging. Storage headroom runs out once large video projects, extensive game libraries or local backups are added. Memory headroom is reached when running virtual machines, heavy multitasking or modern creative applications that demand more than 8 GB.
