Dell QCS1250 SFF desktop for business and education

This small-form-factor desktop ships new with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 24-core processor, 32GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives one HDMI 2.1 TMDS port and one DisplayPort 1.4a HBR3 port. A wired USB keyboard and mouse are included.

Check your monitor inputs and desk space

The system provides one HDMI 2.1 TMDS output and one DisplayPort 1.4a HBR3 output; verify your display has a matching connector or an appropriate adapter. The chassis measures 3.74 in. wide, 11.95 in. high and 11.54 in. deep, so confirm the available clearance on or under your desk. Front-panel ports include one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports; rear I/O adds two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports plus Gigabit Ethernet.

Included keyboard, mouse and OS ready to work

The bundled Dell KB216 wired keyboard and wired mouse connect via USB and require no extra drivers, letting you start immediately. Windows 11 Pro is already licensed and activated for business or education deployment. The 256GB NVMe boot drive leaves the M.2 slot occupied; additional storage would need a second M.2 socket or external drives. The 13 TOPS NPU supports on-device AI workloads without discrete graphics.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a monitor or do I need to buy one separately?

The box contains the SFF desktop, a Dell KB216 wired keyboard and a Dell wired mouse. No monitor is included, so you will need to purchase a display separately.

What does the 13 TOPS NPU rating on the Core Ultra 9 285 actually deliver in everyday Windows 11 Pro tasks?

The 13 TOPS NPU accelerates on-device AI workloads such as Windows Studio Effects, background blur and local Copilot processing, while the 24 cores and 5.6 GHz turbo handle general multitasking and business applications.
