Dell - Refurbished OptiPlex Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Black
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 6th 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: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 256 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 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 530 (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.)

- Processor Model Number: i5-6500T
- Storage
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 256 gigabytes
- Solid State Drive Capacity: 256 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
- Solid State Drive Interface: PCIe (Connects the solid state drive to the host system. PCI and SATA interfaces are the most common; PCI interfaces are typically faster, but SATA interfaces are compatible with a wider range of systems.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 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.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2133 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- Number Of Memory Slots: 2
- Number of Memory Sticks Included: 1
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 16 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Graphics
- 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.)
- GPU Brand: Intel
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 530 (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.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
- Connectivity
- Number of HDMI Outputs (Total): 1
- Number of DisplayPort Outputs (Total): 1
- Number of USB Ports (Total): 6
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Ethernet Ports: 1
- Expansion
- Number Of Internal 2.5" Bays: 1
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 7.2 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 7 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 1.4 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Whats Included
- Refurbished Dell OptiPlex 7040
- Power adapter
A: Typically no and you would have to do a custom add on through Dell's website, you however can get an adapter off Amazon for pretty cheap ($10 US) that will do the trick for either displayport to VGA, HDMI to VGA, or USB to VGA
A: You technically could game on this in a very VERY limited capacity. The hardware is worth while but you have no GPU and would be reliant with the on board graphics through the CPU/MoBo. I would say if you're looking for something like this the CPU and the SSD (because it should be m.2 based on form factor) it's really not worth the price. You can get newer for same cost as far as those 2 parts go. Building a machine would be a better decision if that is your concern, which go to pcpartpicker.com and use either Linus Tech Tips, BitWit, or JayZTwocents for a good idea on building a budget gaming rig. The machines through best buy and Dell have to cut corners on certain areas to maximize profits, plus you'll over spend vs buying through ibuypower or something along those lines (However be aware of their Powersupplies and standard SSD's as they both have severe failure rates)
A: because it's cheaper. Wireless may have a faster speed in some cases, but you will suffer from latency and packet loss so there are going to be times that it's just not worth it. If you can always do wired connection, if you have to do wifi get something more recent. They're cheap and you can get them from a list of vendors like amazon or wal mart for a fraction of what you would pay at best buy
A: The CPU is what will be reliant upon and yes it can. I deploy these versions of optiplex's to clients frequently. For basic office use or minimal function (Watching youtube/netflix/hulu, data entry, etc) these will work just fine. The older CPU does mean you need to update the firmware as it will have the spectre/meltdown intel vulnerability. Also be sure to check for drivers with your USB to VGA adapter as some only work in 2.0 slots and others are heavily reliant on 3.0 slots.
A: Hello Joey! This has one HDMI, so you can use that for one of your monitors. For the second, you will need an HDMI to USB or HDMI to DisplayPort adapter. I recommend reaching out to Best Buy Customer Care directly for information about returning this item.
Q: How do I connect wirelessly to my router?
A: How do I get to a screen so that I can inter my router information to allow connection thru the router?
