It's a desktop i5 cpu. It should run circles against most of the laptop under 1000 on SD. It will be more expandable too.

You can easily put windows 10 on it and set it up as a brand new computer with a usb drive and the media creation tool. I'd do this anyway no matter what operating system it came with. Removes all the Dell stuff.
That's what I do all the time with prebuilds/laptops. Now it's a time to find it refurbished for $300 lol...

This is not a bad price for the i5 model.



You can check the Dell outlet section, sometimes you can score great prices when there is active coupon codes that you can add on top.

As of right now, this New $400 is less than a used one lol

These Inspiron models have 2 Ram slots.
My point exactly - refurb cost more than new one...

Been looking at this deal for last couple of days... Don't want win 11, but need dvd drive Frown
Need something like this, with optical drive, win 10, wifi, no need any drives - purely for torrent, web etc, connected to tv.
Would love to get one refurbished for 'bout $300. Any ideas where to find one?
eBay, dell precision T1700, look for the i7 equivalent xeon E3 1240 v3 or E3 1246 v3 processor or something like that. You get haswell 4th gen Intel. With the ability to upgrade the power supply albeit with a 24 pin to 12 pin adapter you can get on Amazon for this model and you can even case swap this thanks to harbin repairs adapters on ebay. There's videos on YouTube for dell Optiplex and precision computers. They are my go to cheap budget computer builds. I just got my dad a T1700 e3 1240v3 with ECC memory, and a k620 Quadro for 100$ 😳 and windows 10 comes standard already attached to these motherboards.

Another model you can find for a little more money is the dell precision 3620. It has 6th gen skylake and has an m.2 slot on the motherboard in addition to all the other things I mentioned but they're often a lot closer to 250-300$

Why would you not want the ability to expand, ie like memory, etc. If you are using this at home which is what this is targeted for, why would you need a sff. I have had a sff, which for the money might as well get a laptop. They mostly use laptop parts anyways.
Dell mobo, 2666mhz ram, small power supply, etc. This is not a good base for upgrading....

Hence my (and other poster's) point that for this use case, it's a lot of volume wasted. That's the point we're making. If you want a platform for upgrading, you can do better. If you want what this is, you probably, though not definitely, want something smaller. Though that is obviously a subjective case by case decision...

Get the low end 12th gen systems from Dell instead, much better value and longevity.

What would be a recommendation then for something that could be built upon? Price/value based preferred.

There is no low-end 12th gen yet, unless you mean the 12600K.

I'd be interested if it was an i5-11400 at this price point. That gets a decent performance increase from 10400 as well as AV1 decode.

I think the PSU might be enough to sneak a GPU in there too. I see both 260 W and 360 W listed... do they just give you a random one?

I think you can do better getting an older system off of Craigslist.

I am not talking huge expansion here. Obviously not for gaming. But if you wanted to increase memory, it can be done. If you want a bigger hard drive or second drive, that can be accomplished with less expensive 3.5 hard drives. Maybe even a file server or plex server with a mirrored HD. It's great and cheap home computer, who cares what the footprint is for a desktop home computer. Not like you are buying this for htpc. Parts for sff are more expensive and more limiting in general (yes, i have owned 2).
