Dell OptiPlex 3050 SFF — Compact Business Desktop

Certified refurbished and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, this Dell OptiPlex 3050 Small Form Factor pairs a 7th-generation Intel Core i5-7500 quad-core processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a fast 256GB SSD, running Windows 10 Professional — dependable, secure, business-class computing in a space-saving chassis that fits neatly on or under any desk.

Key Benefits

• Quad-core i5 performance: The Intel Core i5-7500 (7th Gen, 4 cores, 6MB cache) runs at 3.4GHz and turbos to 3.8GHz, comfortably handling office applications, multitasking and web-based tools.
• Fast SSD storage: A 256GB SSD delivers rapid boot times, quick application launches and snappy file access — a major step up from mechanical hard drives.
• 8GB DDR4 memory: 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM keeps everyday workloads smooth, with free DIMM slots for an easy upgrade later.
• Dual-display ready: Intel HD Graphics 630 drives two monitors via DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 for a more productive workspace.
• Room to grow: A spare internal M.2 slot plus half-height PCIe x16 and x1 slots let you add storage or a dedicated graphics card down the track.
• Space-saving design: The slim small form factor chassis frees up desk space while keeping full desktop expandability and tool-free access.

Performance in Use

For a typical office or home-office workload, the OptiPlex 3050 is comfortably up to the task. The quad-core i5-7500 paired with an SSD means Windows boots in seconds and everyday tools — word processing, spreadsheets, email, accounting packages and a healthy stack of browser tabs — stay responsive throughout the day.

It also makes a dependable workstation for reception desks, point-of-sale back-ends, classrooms and admin roles where reliability and value matter most. Dual-monitor support via DisplayPort and HDMI lets you spread work across two screens, and the generous port selection — four USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, plus Gigabit Ethernet — connects printers, scanners, external drives and other peripherals without fuss.

As a 7th-generation system it ships with Windows 10 Professional, which it runs smoothly. It is best suited to standard business and productivity use rather than demanding creative work, modern gaming or heavy virtualisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this computer run Windows 11?

No — this computer cannot run Windows 11. The 7th-generation Intel Core i5-7500 isn't on Microsoft's supported processor list, so it ships with Windows 10 Professional, which runs smoothly on it.

Can I add more storage or memory?

Yes. There's a spare internal M.2 slot for an additional PCIe SSD, a 2.5" bay, free DDR4 memory slots, and PCIe expansion — all with tool-free access.

Does it support dual monitors?

Yes. DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 outputs let you run two displays for a more productive workspace.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

This model connects via Gigabit Ethernet as standard. Wi-Fi can be added with a USB or PCIe wireless adapter if required.

What does "certified refurbished" actually mean?

Each unit is fully tested with professional diagnostic software, securely data-wiped, cleaned, cosmetically graded and restored to full working order, with any faulty parts replaced using genuine components.
