Product Overview

The Dell Optiplex 790/7010 is a compact and reliable desktop, offering solid performance for a range of legacy applications, especially for offline or specialized use. Powered by an Intel Pentium G Series processor, this machine is a great option for those who need a basic PC for everyday tasks, but with a special focus on compatibility with older software and hardware. The system comes with Windows XP Pro SP3, a now-legacy operating system that is no longer supported by Microsoft. It is highly recommended to avoid using this system for online activities due to security vulnerabilities associated with the outdated software.
