OptiPlex 9800 SFF desktop for office use
The Dell OptiPlex 9800 SFF is a compact desktop built around an Intel Core i5-6500 dual-core processor running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of memory and a 128 GB solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, making it ready for business tasks and general productivity out of the box.
Thermals noise and power in daily work
The small form factor chassis uses integrated Intel HD Graphics, which keeps heat output modest during typical office workloads. A USB Wi-Fi adapter provides wireless connectivity without adding internal components that could raise temperatures. Fan activity stays low for routine document editing, web browsing and video playback.
Included accessories and software impact
The bundled USB Wi-Fi adapter adds immediate wireless networking without occupying an internal slot. Windows 11 Pro delivers business-oriented security and management features such as BitLocker and Remote Desktop. Two memory slots are present with support for up to 32 GB, allowing a straightforward RAM upgrade when workloads grow.

Questions about this item
