- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 12th Generation Core i7 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Q: Can I add a dedicated graphics card later on?
A: Yes, the system supports the one of these dedicated graphics cards NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
A: Yes, this computer has two ram slots. I purchased 32 gb and added it in the second open slot. I was going to swap out the existing 16 ram but the guys at geek squad said it wouldn’t effect the computer negatively to keep both in. Now I have 48 gb ram.
Q: Can this desktop run dual monitors? I only see 1 HDMI hookup. JD
A: yes, we have duel monitors. one 15 pin connector and one hdmi.
A: I bought a combo wireless mouse/keyboard at the same time I bought the system and have been using them for a few months. I am a boomer too and personally like and use Logitech keyboards and mice (input devices). It has enough USB ports; a combo mouse/keyboard needs but one.
Q: Is the 16GB memory expandable
A: Crucial is apparently the ONLY brand of memory outside of Dell memory that can be used to upgrade this machine's RAM memory. I removed the installed 16 GB memory stick, and installed two 16 GB Crucial brand memory in a kit I bought from Amazon, and it worked. Therefore, my new Dell Inspiron now has a total of 32 GB of memory. My guess is that Dell buys its RAM memory from Crucial.
Q: Will this desktop float if my ex-wife throws it in the pool?
A: it might if she is holding on to it
Q: Can you add more Ram ? and if so which type?
A: Yes, up to 64GB. The system supports dual channel DDR4-3200 MHZ RAM.
A: Yesm the fans would slow down to minimum speed when the system temperature is under check. This system has been checked throughly and any unusual noise is not detected during quality checks.
