Small Form Factor Business Desktop
The DELL QCS1250 is a compact SFF desktop built for office and education environments. It ships new with Windows 11 Pro, a wired keyboard and mouse, and an Intel Core Ultra 5 235 processor with 14 cores and 24MB cache. The 16GB DDR5 memory and 4TB NVMe SSD provide responsive multitasking and ample local storage.
Thermals Noise Power
The slim chassis measures 11.95 in high, 3.74 in wide and 11.54 in deep, weighing 8.61 lb. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles display output without a discrete card, keeping power draw and acoustic profile low for typical productivity workloads. The 13 TOPS NPU accelerates AI-enhanced applications within the same thermal envelope.
Build Integration
Front I/O includes two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and one Type-C port plus a global headset jack. Rear I/O adds two more USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a and Gigabit Ethernet. The small footprint frees desk space but limits internal expansion; buyers needing additional drive bays or add-in cards should consider a larger form factor.
