Dell Dell OptiPlex 9020Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF Desktop PC i5-4590 8GB 250GB SSD DVD-RW HDMI No OS

Key Benefits

• Intel Core i5-4590 quad-core processor — Four physical cores at 3.30 GHz, turbo to 3.70 GHz. The higher-clocked refresh of Dell's 9020 line, and a full 84W desktop chip rather than a low-voltage laptop part.
• 250GB SSD — Solid-state storage, which is the single largest factor in how quick a machine of this generation feels. Boot in seconds, applications open without hesitation.
• 8GB RAM — Comfortable for everyday office work with several applications running, and expandable via the board's four DIMM slots.
• HDMI output — Connects directly to a modern monitor or TV panel with no adapter, useful for signage and meeting rooms as well as ordinary desks.
• DVD-RW optical drive — Still required for archived media, older software and disc-based records, and increasingly absent from new machines.
• Compact, serviceable chassis — About a third the volume of a tower, quiet in operation, with tool-less access to drives and memory.

Performance in Use

The OptiPlex 9020 was Dell's top-tier business desktop, specified for corporate fleets rather than the consumer market, and the build quality and serviceability reflect that. This unit carries the Core i5-4590 — the higher-clocked chip in the 9020 range at 3.30 GHz base and 3.70 GHz turbo, a modest step up from the i5-4570 fitted to earlier units in the same line. Four physical cores at those speeds handle office applications, accounting software, point-of-sale systems and general administration with room to spare.

The 250GB SSD is what makes this machine genuinely worth putting on a desk today. A computer of this generation running a mechanical hard drive feels sluggish no matter which processor it has; with solid-state storage the same hardware boots in seconds and stays responsive all day. It is a dependable, low-cost workstation for reception, back-office, workshop or retail duty.

The small-form-factor chassis earns its place where space is limited — it fits where a tower cannot, runs quietly, and the HDMI output drives current monitors without adapters. Two practical constraints to plan around: the SFF format takes low-profile expansion cards only, and this hardware generation predates Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements, so Windows 10 or a Linux distribution is the appropriate choice.

FAQ

Does it come with Windows?

No. This unit ships with no operating system installed. Windows 10 or a Linux distribution can be installed. This generation of hardware does not meet Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11.

How does the i5-4590 compare to the i5-4570?

Both are 4th Generation quad-core desktop processors from the same family. The 4590 runs slightly faster — 3.30 GHz base against 3.20 GHz, and 3.70 GHz turbo against 3.60 GHz. In practice the difference is modest; either is comfortable for office workloads.

Does it include a monitor, keyboard or mouse?

No — the desktop unit and power cable are supplied. Peripherals are sold separately, and we usually have refurbished monitors and accessories in stock.

How many monitors can it drive?

The integrated Intel HD 4600 graphics support dual displays. With HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA on board, most monitor combinations connect without an adapter.

Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?

Yes. The board has four DIMM slots and the chassis is designed for tool-less access, so memory and drives are straightforward to add or replace.

What shipping options are available?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
