DELL Pro Slim QCS1250 SFF desktop PC Intel Core Ultra 5 235 32GB 2TB NVMe

Compact business desktop

The Dell Pro Slim QCS1250 is a small-form-factor PC built for office and education users who need a quiet, space-saving system with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. It ships with a wired keyboard and mouse so it is ready to deploy immediately. The 14-core Intel Core Ultra 5 235 processor reaches 5.0 GHz turbo and includes a 13 TOPS NPU for on-device AI workloads. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives two displays via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a.

Connectivity and daily use

Front-panel ports include two USB 2.0, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and one Type-C at 5 Gbps plus a global headset jack for quick peripheral access. The rear adds two more USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gigabit Ethernet and the video outputs. At 95 mm wide the chassis fits behind a monitor or on a crowded desk without blocking airflow. DDR5 5600 memory and a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD keep boot and application load times short.

Deciding specification

The single figure that determines suitability is the 13 TOPS NPU built into the Core Ultra 5 235; buyers whose workflows rely on local AI acceleration will benefit, while those who need discrete graphics performance or higher multi-threaded throughput should look elsewhere.
