Four physical cores and Turbo headroom handle everyday tasks well: web browsing, Microsoft Office, email, PDF review, and standard business applications all run smoothly. The 12GB of DDR3 RAM is a particular strength — more than the base 8GB many budget units ship with, giving comfortable headroom for multitasking throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 250GB SATA hard drive provides sufficient local storage for a standard office workstation. Boot times will be slower than an SSD-equipped system — if speed is a priority, the M72e SFF's SATA bay accepts a standard SATA SSD as a straightforward upgrade. The Intel HD Graphics 2500 handles standard 1080p display output via the rear ports; adequate for office use, web browsing, and media playback, though not suited for 3D or gaming workloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis unit ships with no operating system installed. Windows 10 Pro is compatible with the i5-3470 and can be installed from a USB or disc after purchase. For IT-managed environments this is an advantage — deploy your own image.
