Dell Desktop Computers for the Home or Office
Every user has different needs, and Dell products feature CPUs from Intel® and AMD® that can handle basic tasks such as web browsing or reading email, take on complex spreadsheet calculations, or power through database processing jobs. Hard disks and solid-state drives provide plenty of data storage space, and the DVD-RW drives featured in some models make it easy to watch movies, record music, or back up data on optical discs. Many of these products come with up to 16GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking. Select systems have dedicated NVIDIA® or AMD graphics cards that offer excellent gaming performance.
Make Connections With Dell Desktop Computers
Most Dell desktop products have Ethernet® ports, and some include Wi-Fi® adapters, making it simple to access network resources. Use the built-in USB ports to connect peripherals such as mice or keyboards to the system, or backup important data with an external USB hard drive. Many models also include card readers so that users can import files from a camera or video recorder. Link up accessories such as wireless mice or speakers using the Bluetooth® connectivity available with some models.
What Are All-in-one Dell Desktop Computers?
Traditional desktop computers have both a monitor and a stand-alone case that contains the computer's CPU, memory, storage, and other vital components, as well as a mouse and keyboard. An all-in-one computer combines the system unit with a slim LCD screen. This combined unit reduces the system's physical footprint, making these products an ideal choice for cubicles or a home office with limited space. All-in-one systems have many of the same features as stand-alone units, but a separate case does offer more room for expansion.
What Operating System Do Dell Desktop Computers Use?
Dell desktop products come with the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. Most models intended for home use feature Windows 10 Home, while business systems come with the Pro version of Windows 7 or 10. These operating systems offer users a familiar working environment and come with many basic applications. The Pro version has advanced management features that allow IT professionals to configure and monitor systems in a business setting remotely.
How Much Storage Space Do Dell Desktop Computers Have?
Storage space varies, depending upon the product chosen. Dell desktops with solid-state drives have at least 256GB of space, while models with hard disks have between 500GB and 2TB of storage. Both types of storage are very reliable. Hard disks have more storage space than comparably priced SSDs. Solid-state drives provide faster access to critical files.
