The Dell OptiPlex 3090 Micro is Dell’s Micro Form Factor desktop — a complete business PC in a 36 × 178.56 × 182 mm chassis that weighs just over a kilogram and can be mounted directly to the back of a monitor via a VESA bracket, tucked behind a desk, or deployed in space-constrained environments where a conventional desktop simply won’t fit. Despite its size, it delivers genuine 10th Generation Intel Core i3-10100T performance (4 cores, 8 threads, 3.0 GHz base / 3.8 GHz boost) with full Windows 11 Pro compatibility, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for dual-monitor productivity, and a 256 GB M.2 SSD that boots and launches applications at SSD speeds rather than the sluggish pace of a spinning drive.

The Q470 chipset provides Intel’s commercial platform features including vPro manageability (where configured), TPM 2.0 hardware security, and Secure Boot support. The 65W external AC power adapter keeps the unit fanless-quiet in typical office loads and eliminates the need for an internal PSU, contributing to the chassis’s compact dimensions. Two SODIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 64 GB for more demanding workloads, and a SATA slot accommodates an optional 2.5″ HDD or SATA SSD for additional storage alongside the M.2 primary drive.

With an optional VESA mount bracket, the OptiPlex 3090 Micro attaches directly to the back of a compatible monitor — effectively disappearing from the desk entirely. This makes it an excellent choice for reception counters, point-of-sale environments, hot desk deployments, digital signage, and any space where visible hardware is undesirable.

No discrete GPU expansion is possible — the Micro form factor has no PCIe expansion slot. Display output relies entirely on Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics. This system is suited to productivity, web browsing, video conferencing, and office applications, but not gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads.

Wi-Fi is not included by default. An M.2 2230 Wi-Fi card (optional Dell upgrade) is required for wireless connectivity. Confirm with your supplier whether the wireless module is included in this specific unit’s configuration.

The 65W external power brick is proprietary to this platform. Standard ATX power supplies are not compatible.

Technical Specifications

The OptiPlex 3090 Micro uses an Intel Q470 chipset with two SODIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of DDR4-2666 MHz memory. The 256 GB M.2 SSD occupies the 2230/2280 M.2 slot. Integrated Intel UHD 630 graphics drive dual DisplayPort 1.4 outputs on the rear. Front connectivity includes 1× USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, a universal audio jack, and a re-tasking line out/line-in audio port. Rear connectivity includes 1× USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A with Smart Power On, 3× USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, 2× DisplayPort 1.4, and 1× RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet. An optional third video port (VGA/DP 1.4/HDMI 2.0b) is available by configuration. The system ships with a wired USB keyboard and mouse.

The Dell EC24250 is designed around accessibility and aesthetics as much as performance. At its core is the Intel Core i5-1334U — a 13th Gen 10-core (2P+8E), 12-thread Raptor Lake U-series processor running up to 4.6GHz with 12MB cache, paired with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD. Intel UHD Graphics handles integrated display output. It’s a power-efficient, quiet-running configuration well-suited to sustained office and home-office productivity workloads. The Pearl White finish and fabric speaker grille give it a distinctly premium, consumer-friendly aesthetic that stands out against the grey and black competition.

FHD Display & Eye Comfort

The 23.8-inch FHD (1920×1080) IPS InfinityEdge narrow-border display covers 99% sRGB with a 50% higher contrast ratio over the previous generation. Dell ComfortView Plus reduces harmful blue light emissions at the hardware level for comfortable all-day use, and the display runs at a higher refresh rate than the previous generation for a smoother visual experience. Tilt adjusts from 0° to 20° to suit your desk height and viewing angle.

Dolby Atmos Dual Bluetooth Speakers

The EC24250’s built-in dual speaker system with fabric grille carries Dolby Atmos spatial audio certification — and like the Inspiron 5430, the speakers double as a standalone Bluetooth device. You can pair your phone directly to the AiO’s speaker and use it as a room speaker even when the PC is off. This is a genuine differentiator for home office and shared workspaces that doubles as a media or audio environment.

5MP+IR HDR Pop-Up Camera

The 5MP IR camera features HDR technology for clear, balanced imaging even in high-contrast or low-light environments. It tilts from 0° to 20° to frame the shot correctly from any desk setup, and pops up when needed — sitting flush with the display bezel when not in use for a clean look and natural privacy.

Connectivity & Ports

The rear I/O provides USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (below display), HDMI-in 1.4, HDMI-out, 4× USB 3.2 Type-A (rear), and Gigabit Ethernet. A side/front-accessible USB-C port and an SD card reader round out the connectivity. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax tri-band) and Bluetooth 5.2, and the Dell Pro Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (KM5221W, White) are included.

Stand & Deployment

The innovative triangle stand includes a keyboard shelf underneath the display — keeping the desk surface clean and cable management tidy. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit ships out of the box, and the S suffix in the SKU confirms this unit ships with a 3-year Dell onsite service warranty — a meaningful differentiator for business deployment over consumer-tier support.

Note: The i5-1334U is a U-series mobile processor — efficient and ideal for quiet sustained workloads, but not an H-series chip. This is the right unit for light-to-medium productivity use, not sustained heavy compute. The display is non-touch. This model ships with 16GB DDR5 — confirm RAM configuration (single vs dual channel) with your supplier if integrated graphics throughput matters for your use case. The Bluetooth speaker mode is a consumer-oriented feature; while useful, this is primarily a business-class deployment unit.

The OptiPlex 7410 Plus is the high-performance variant of the 7410 AiO range, distinguished by its 65W desktop-class processor rather than the 35W T-series chip in the standard 7410. At its heart is the Intel Core i7-13700 vPro — a 16-core (8P+8E), 24-thread Raptor Lake processor running at 2.1GHz base with Turbo Boost Max up to 5.1GHz, 30MB cache, and Intel vPro Enterprise platform support. Paired with 16GB DDR5-4800MHz RAM and a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, this is a genuine high-performance business workstation in an AiO chassis — capable of sustained compute-intensive workloads that would tax the efficiency-oriented 35W competition. Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles integrated display tasks and supports discrete GPU options where needed.

Display & Eye Comfort

The 23.8-inch FHD (1920×1080) IPS anti-glare panel covers 99% sRGB at 250 nits with Dell ComfortView Plus reducing harmful blue light at the hardware level, backed by TÜV Low Blue Light certification. This is the non-touch variant — clear, sharp, and comfortable for extended sessions without the reflective coating of a touch panel.

5MP IR Pop-Up Webcam & Dell Optimizer

The retractable 5MP IR pop-up webcam delivers high-resolution video conferencing with IR support for Windows Hello face authentication. Dual microphones flank the camera for clean audio pickup. Dell Optimizer uses AI to automatically optimise audio levels, cancel background noise, and adapt network prioritisation for active calls — all running in the background without user configuration. The dual 5W built-in speakers provide solid audio for open-plan conferencing.

Enterprise Port Layout

The OptiPlex 7410 Plus has one of the most comprehensive I/O sets in the AiO category. The rear provides: 1× USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps), 1× HDMI-out 2.1 (up to 4K@60Hz), 1× HDMI-in 1.4b, 1× DisplayPort 1.4a (up to 5K@60Hz), 2× USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 2× USB 2.0, and RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet. The right side adds 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A with PowerShare, and the left provides a global headset jack and SD card 4.0 reader. Wireless is Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (802.11ax tri-band) and Bluetooth 5.2.

vPro Security & Fleet Manageability

Intel vPro Enterprise enables Intel AMT for remote out-of-band management — IT can access, diagnose, and repair systems even when the OS is unresponsive. Dell’s security stack adds firmware TPM 2.0, off-host BIOS verification, Indicators of Attack, Secured Component Verification, and Dell Trusted Update Experience for predictable fleet-wide BIOS and driver deployment. The unit is EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR, and TCO certified.

3-Year ProSupport NBD

The SA SKU ships with a 3-year Dell ProSupport with Next Business Day on-site service — Dell’s commercial support tier with direct ProSupport engineer access, hardware telemetry integration, and NBD on-site dispatch. Backed by Dell SA locally.

Note: The 7410 Plus uses a 65W desktop processor — it will run warmer and draw more power than the 35W standard 7410. This is the right trade-off for users who need sustained high-performance computing in an AiO form factor; for quiet, power-efficient deployments the 35W models are more appropriate. This is the non-touch variant. The 16GB DDR5 is a single SO-DIMM — adding a matched second module enables dual-channel for better integrated graphics performance. No optical drive is included.

Expansion & Storage

Three half-height PCIe Gen3 slots (one x16, two x1) allow for a low-profile discrete GPU, NIC, or sound card, with GPU power support up to a 75W card without external power connectors. One M.2 2230/2280 SSD slot and one SATA 3.5″ HDD bay cover storage expansion, with a SATA slim ODD bay available for an optional optical drive. The chassis can stand vertically or be placed horizontally beneath a monitor to save desk space.

Security, Durability & Sustainability

All Dell Pro desktops are tested to MIL-STD-810H military durability standards across temperature, vibration, shock, humidity, and other stress categories. Security provisions include TPM 2.0, Kensington lock slot, padlock ring, chassis intrusion detection, and BIOS-level Smart USB Protection. ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Silver rated.

The PCIe x16 slot is half-height — standard full-height GPU cards will not fit. Discrete GPU options are limited to low-profile, single-slot cards within the 75W passive power envelope unless using the x16 slot’s auxiliary power connector where available.

Buyers needing a third display output can populate the optional rear expansion port with a second HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 2.1 module — useful for multi-monitor workstations without needing a discrete GPU.

An optional rear expansion port supports VGA, additional HDMI, additional DP, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2, or USB-C with DP Alt Mode. Intel Wi-Fi 6E (AX211, 802.11ax) and Bluetooth are built in.

Security & Sustainability

Security provisions include TPM 2.0, Kensington lock slot, padlock ring, chassis intrusion detection, and BIOS-level Smart USB Protection. MIL-STD-810H tested, ENERGY STAR certified, and EPEAT Silver rated.

The QCS1250 Pro Slim is positioned above the Pro Slim Essential QVS1260 — notably, it ships with Intel Wi-Fi 6E (vs MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 on the Essential), 3-year ProSupport on-site warranty (vs the Essential’s courier/carry-in on some models), and the more enterprise-capable QCS1250 platform with full Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211.

This configuration ships with 8GB DDR5 — the second DIMM slot makes upgrading to 16GB straightforward and is worth considering at time of purchase for users running multiple applications simultaneously. All PCIe slots are half-height; standard full-height GPU cards will not fit.

The Core i3-14100 is a 4-core, 8-thread 14th Gen Intel processor with a 3.5 GHz base and 4.7 GHz boost frequency, backed by a 12MB cache and Intel UHD Graphics 730. It handles the full range of day-to-day office workloads — email, web browsing, document processing, video calls, and spreadsheets — without fuss, and the DDR5 platform ensures good memory bandwidth headroom even at this entry price point. The 8GB DDR5-4800 ships in one of two UDIMM slots, with one slot free and a maximum ceiling of 64GB — plenty of room to grow as demands increase.

Storage, Expansion & Connectivity

The 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD provides fast primary storage, with a SATA 3.0 bay for a 3.5″ HDD and a SATA slim ODD bay for an optional optical drive. Three full-height PCIe Gen3 slots — one x16 for a discrete GPU and two x1 for add-in cards — make this a genuinely expandable machine for its price tier. Front I/O includes 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, and a global headset jack. The rear adds 2x USB 2.0 (Smart Power On), 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45). An optional rear expansion port accepts VGA, additional HDMI, additional DP, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2, or USB-C with DP Alt Mode. MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 (MT7920, 802.11ax) and Bluetooth are built in.

Security & Sustainability

Security provisions include TPM 2.0, Kensington lock slot, padlock loop, and chassis intrusion detection. The chassis is built from 43% recycled plastic and 50% recycled steel, carrying ENERGY STAR and EPEAT Silver with Climate+ certifications.

The three full-height PCIe slots and 64GB RAM ceiling make this a surprisingly expandable entry-level machine — businesses can start lean and add a discrete GPU, additional RAM, or a secondary drive as needs grow, without replacing the tower.

The i3-14100 is a 4-core processor — fine for single-user office workloads, but not suited to heavily multi-threaded tasks like video encoding, large dataset processing, or running multiple virtual machines. Consider the i7-14700 or Core Ultra 5 225 QVT1260 variants for more demanding workloads.
