Dell Optiplex 7050 micro MT (Intel Core i7 7700/), Black

Built with a small footprint, the OptiPlex 7050 Tower Desktop Computer from Dell delivers full-size desktop performance and features versatile mounting options. It is powered by a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5-7500T Quad-Core processor that will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the 7th-generation Kaby Lake CPU can achieve speeds up to 3.3 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM also helps the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously, as well as access frequently-used files and programs.

For long-term storage of your files, a 128GB SATA M.2 SSD offers ample space to store your data. If you want to connect with external storage drives or other peripherals, such as printers, memory card readers, optical drives, and more, the OptiPlex 7050 features one USB 3.0 Type-C port and five USB 3.0 Type-A ports. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 chipset delivers a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for a wide range of monitors to be used via its one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 1.4 video outputs. Internally, there is an M.2 slot, which is used for the SSD, as well as an empty 2.5" SATA drive bay for additional storage.

Dell's OptiPlex 7050 Micro Desktop Computer operates using a 65W power supply that runs using 90-264 VAC at 47-63 Hz and includes a Dell KB216 keyboard, a Dell MS116 USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).

General Features

Gigabit Ethernet

The OptiPlex 7050 Micro uses an integrated Intel i219-V Gigabit Ethernet controller for Internet access when connected to a router, modem, or network switch.

802.11ac Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 4.2

You can also connect wirelessly to the Internet using dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. If you run out of USB ports, or just want to save them for other purposes, compatible wireless peripherals such as keyboards, headsets, and mice can be connected using Bluetooth 4.2 technology.

Up to 32GB RAM

With both 240-pin SO-DIMM slots in use, this system supports up to 32GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 memory, or 16GB per slot.

USB 3.0 Type-C | USB 3.0 Type-A

The system features one USB 3.0 Type-C port and five USB 3.0 Type-A ports that will allow you to connect external peripherals such as hard drives, printers, and memory card readers. At 5 Gb/s, USB 3.0 transfers data up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0, which operates at 480 Mb/s. USB 3.0's high-speed transfer rate helps to significantly reduce data transfer times, meaning you spend less time waiting and more time focusing on the task at hand. One of the front USB 3.0 ports is equipped with PowerShare technology.

Drive Bays

Internally, there is one 2.5" SATA drive bay and one M.2 slot.

Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

Start Menu

After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.

Cortana

Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

Microsoft Edge

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

Windows Store

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows Continuum

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Xbox on Windows 10

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Windows 10 Pro

The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for businesses users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
