Optiplex 7040 Dell has powered by an Intel Core Processor from the sixth generation. However, the OptiPlex 7040 is available in two configurations: tiny tower and SFF. We’ll be looking into the SFF for our Dell Optiplex 7040 review.
The Dell Optiplex 7040 Series SFF is a desktop computer with a tiny footprint. You can put it on the monitor, which will not occupy much space.
The left-hand corner features an HDMI port, two Display Ports, a serial port, a keyboard and mouse port, 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and an RJ45 port. Moreover, A DVI-I dual-link connector has located near the bottom of the computer, adjacent to another DisplayPort, with the power port beneath them. The Dell logo, four USB ports (2 x 2.0 and 2 x 3.0), an optical drive. The power button are all in the upper right corner.

The Dell Optiplex 7040 features an Intel Core i7-6700 CPU. Moreover, it has an AMD Radeon R7 M350X graphic card for smooth gaming. It also comes with 16GB DDR4 RAM. However, 16GB RAM is sufficient for multitasking, and we nowhere find any lags.
It comes with the windows seven operating system. However, you can upgrade it to windows ten very quickly.
It checks all the boxes if we talk about USB ports. It has 6 USB ports,2 with front 4 with back and 1 with power share socket.
