Dell OptiPlex 3050 SFF — Intel Core i5-7500 Desktop PC
The Dell OptiPlex 3050 SFF pairs Intel Core i5-7500 (7th Gen, 4-core / 4-thread, 3.4 GHz, 6MB cache) with 8GB DDR4 of RAM and a 128GB SSD in a compact Small Form Factor chassis. Running Windows 10 Pro and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, it is a straightforward, dependable desktop for everyday business use.
Key Benefits
- Quad-core Intel Core i5-7500: Four cores at a 3.4 GHz base clock give steady, predictable performance for office applications and everyday browsing.
- Windows 10 Pro: Includes BitLocker, Group Policy, and Remote Desktop for managed business environments.
- 128GB SATA SSD: Solid-state storage delivers quick boots and responsive application launches.
- Compact SFF chassis: A small footprint that suits crowded desks, counters, and cabinets.
- Wired Gigabit networking: Integrated Gigabit Ethernet for a stable connection at a fixed desk.
- Low running cost: A 65W processor and 180W power supply keep power draw modest across a fleet.
Performance in Use
The OptiPlex 3050 SFF is a sensible workhorse for straightforward office tasks. The quad-core i5-7500 runs Microsoft 365, web-based business systems, and email comfortably, and the 128GB SSD keeps Windows and applications loading quickly. For a reception desk, a counter terminal, or a general admin workstation, it does the job without fuss.
This is a Windows 10 machine. The 7th Gen Core i5 sits below Microsoft's official Windows 11 processor requirement, so plan around Windows 10 for this unit — worth factoring in if your environment has a Windows 11 standard. It remains a good fit for kiosk, POS, and single-purpose roles where the OS version is fixed and stable.
No optical drive is fitted to this unit — the front bay carries a blanking panel. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet keeps the machine on a stable wired connection — ideal for domain-joined desks, point-of-sale counters, and reception PCs. There is no wireless card, so a wired network point is required, or a USB WiFi adapter added separately.
