Dell OptiPlex 5050 Black 2017
With a quad-core Intel Core i7-7700 and 16GB DDR4 RAM, this compact SFF desktop delivers steady multitasking for business applications. A 512GB NVMe SSD ensures fast boot and load times, while Windows 10 Pro provides essential security features, all at a refurbished price that maximizes value. Best suited for office workers and home users focused on spreadsheets, email, and web conferencing, but it can't handle modern gaming or GPU-intensive tasks.
