- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 7th Generation Core i5 (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: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 12 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 HD Graphics 630 (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.)

Product Manuals
A: I don't own this unit but as an IT professional I can tell you that: 1)Windows 10 home cane be upgraded to pro for $100 extra, plus taxes *if applicable* 2) Depending on whether or not you intend to swap the primary drive with an SSD but, you can add whatever size SSD you want, swapping the primary out would be possible but would require a bit of work. 3) no idea, Dells usually allow you to add more. 4) Dell usually has a 2.4 AND 5 compatible WiFi card.
Q: will the computer have the window 7 pro 64 option or it only in window10
A: Windows 10 Only, unless you go back in time and get a copy of Windows 7. Keep in mind 10 has been out well over a year now... If you simply don't like the interface, I would suggest going to ninite.com and installing Classic Start. Once installed you can right click the start button and go to settings and pick the interface look you want.
Q: Your specs note an Intel processor. Please be more precise, i.e. speed?
A: This is 3 GHZ processor.
Q: Will this work with any Dell monitor? Mine is about 8yrs old, and I need to purchase a new tower.
A: Yes, this will work with any monitor.
Q: Does this have HDMI out in case I want to stream to a TV?
A: Yes it does. 1HDMI output
A: Yes they will work, I took my speakers from a 2001 model and they worked on this model. As far as the keyboard and mouse go, they must have a USB input to be used on this tower. This model lets you plug in a monitor via HDMI input as well as the older style fifteen pin input.
A: I'm an amateur photographer and take lots of pictures. I use Photoshop Elements and store my pictures on the computer's hard drive. I am very pleased with the speed and functionality of the Dell. I have noticed a significant improvement in the time it takes to edit and save large photo files. My only reservation about this computer is that it has only one hard drive bay. My plan is to set up my old computer for Network Attached Storage and install a 4TB drive in it. I hope that this helps.
Q: Is this computer loud or quiet?
A: I have had the computer for about a month & have zero complaints on the noise. The desk I purchased isn't very spacious, so the tower is sitting roughly two feet from me on top of the desk & I can hardly hear it. If I'm watching/listening to anything at a low volume, I can't even hear it all. When it's turning on, you can hear it, but past that - no noise.
