Micro Tower business desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro Tower is a compact business desktop built around an Intel Core i7-6700T processor with four cores, 8 MB cache and a base frequency of 2.8 GHz that can reach 3.6 GHz with Turbo Boost. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 SDRAM running at 1866 MT/s and a 256 GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed and a keyboard plus mouse are included in the box.

Suited to office and light multitasking

The system suits general office work, web browsing and multi-monitor productivity thanks to its DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI outputs driven by Intel HD Graphics 530. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance for CAD, rendering or modern gaming should look elsewhere, as the integrated GPU and 65 W power adapter limit 3D capability. The Micro Tower chassis also restricts internal expansion compared with larger towers.

256 GB SSD capacity decides fit

The single 256 GB solid-state drive determines whether this unit meets storage needs; users with large local datasets or media libraries will require external or network storage. No additional drive bays or M.2 slots are described in the specifications, so the installed capacity is fixed.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Intel Core i7-6700T is running at its 2.8GHz base and 3.6GHz turbo speeds after setup?

Open Task Manager in Windows 10 Pro, select the Performance tab, and watch the CPU frequency readout under load; it should show 2.8 GHz at idle and rise toward 3.6 GHz when all four cores are busy.

The supplier title mentions keyboard and mouse — are both included in the box or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains a keyboard and a mouse along with the 65 Watt AC adapter; no separate input devices are required.

Which memory speed should I select if I want to add more RAM to the 16GB already installed?

Match the existing DDR4 1866 modules; the system uses DDR4 running at 1866 MT/s, so choose identical speed sticks for compatibility.
