Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro — Compact 1-Litre Business Desktop

A certified refurbished Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro built around a 6-core Intel Core i5-8500, 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• Six real cores, not a low-power mobile chip. The Core i5-8500 is a full 65W desktop processor running 3.0GHz base and 4.1GHz turbo across six cores — a genuine step up from the 35W "T" variants usually found in machines this size.
• Fits almost anywhere. The Micro chassis is roughly one litre in volume. It sits behind a monitor on a VESA bracket, under a desk, inside a cabinet, or on a shelf where a tower simply will not go.
• 16GB of DDR4 with room to grow. Supplied as a single 16GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM, leaving the second slot free — the platform accepts up to 64GB total if your workload expands.
• Solid-state throughout. A 256GB SSD handles the operating system and applications, so boot times, file searches and application launches stay quick.
• Dual-monitor ready out of the box. Two DisplayPort outputs drive two independent displays without adapters, dongles or an add-in card.
• Business-grade security and management. Discrete TPM 2.0 is enabled, supporting BitLocker drive encryption and the hardware requirements Windows 11 Pro expects.

Performance In Use

The defining characteristic of this particular OptiPlex 7060 is that it pairs a tiny chassis with a full-power processor. Most one-litre desktops ship with 35W low-power CPUs to keep heat manageable. This one carries the 65W Core i5-8500, which means six cores clocking from 3.0GHz up to 4.1GHz and 9MB of cache. In practice that is the difference between a machine that feels adequate and one that feels genuinely quick when several applications are open at once.

For day-to-day office work it is comfortably over-specified, and that is the point — a large spreadsheet recalculating, thirty browser tabs, a video call and an accounting package running together will not force it to start dropping frames or stuttering. The 16GB of memory matters as much as the processor here; it is the single most common bottleneck on business desktops, and this unit has double the 8GB that machines of this vintage typically carry. Software developers, analysts and anyone running a virtual machine alongside their normal desktop will notice the headroom.

Physically it suits environments where a desktop tower is impractical. Reception counters, retail point-of-sale, digital signage, meeting-room hosts, workshop benches and hot-desks all benefit from a machine that mounts behind the monitor and disappears. Two DisplayPort outputs mean a dual-screen setup needs nothing more than two cables. It runs quietly, draws little power, and the whole unit plus its power adapter weighs less than a typical laptop bag.

Condition Grades

Cosmetic grading describes the casing only. Regardless of grade, every unit is fully tested, cleaned, and covered by the same 12-month warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this have Wi-Fi?

No. This unit was configured without a wireless card, so it connects via Gigabit Ethernet. If you need wireless, a USB Wi-Fi adapter works without any modification to the machine.

Can it run two monitors?

Yes. There are two DisplayPort outputs and they drive two independent displays. If your monitors use HDMI or VGA, an inexpensive DisplayPort adapter will connect them.

Can I add more memory or storage later?

Yes. Memory is supplied as a single 16GB DDR4 SODIMM with the second slot free, and the platform supports up to 64GB. The chassis also has an M.2 slot alongside the 2.5-inch drive bay, so storage can be expanded.

Is the Windows licence genuine?

Yes. Windows 11 Pro is installed and activated against the licence tied to this machine. It arrives ready to use — no product key to enter and no trial period.

What is included in the box?

The OptiPlex 7060 Micro, its 130W AC adapter and a power cord, plus a tax invoice. Keyboard, mouse and monitor are not included.

Will it mount behind my monitor?

The chassis is designed for it, but a VESA mounting bracket is required and is not supplied with this unit. It also sits happily on a desk, on a shelf, or under a counter.

How is it shipped?

This unit qualifies for free standard AU shipping. Every unit is packed to survive transit and dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse.

Warranty & Why Reboot IT

This desktop is covered by a 12-month return-to-base warranty supplied directly by Reboot IT. If something fails within that period we repair or replace it. You deal with us in Melbourne, not an overseas call centre or a third-party claims process.

Reboot IT has specialised in refurbished business technology since 2001. Every machine that leaves our warehouse has been functionally tested, securely data-wiped, cleaned, and graded by a technician against a consistent standard — which is why the grade on this listing means the same thing as the grade on every other listing we publish.

This unit also ships with free standard AU shipping, dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse.

Refurbished hardware is the straightforwardly sustainable option, too. Extending the life of a well-built business desktop keeps a working machine out of landfill and avoids the considerable carbon cost of manufacturing a new one — while still putting a six-core processor and 16GB of memory on your desk.
