I bought this recently because i got it at a cheap price. I replaced the HD with an SSD. dam this thing is fast. With every click all my windows app pops up instantly. Excellent performance , In a tiny package. I am so impressed by this thing.
I have gotten a second hand Optiplex slim client, but a 7050. It has a better spec than yours, well the i7 is 6th generation, and... yeah, really loving it. You want to get one with a hard drive, because then you get the bracket. Should be the same as mine, which can have an NvMe SSD in it, and a 2.5 inch drive. You can plug an HDH without the bracket, but it is hardly the most secure option. But you can have two drives inside, which is useful. Increases storage without increasing clutter. These machines are great for mid level gaming. Been testing mine out with Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, and it is amazingly fast and smooth.
Thank you, I was looking at this on Amazon and there is no image of the plugs for the display output, so I wasn't sure what to do about cables. Awesome.
I have the 7070 in same form factor.. I want to know if it's possible to add a wifi antenna on it. The wifi card I have installed on it is very week.. Is there a specific size coaxial antenna I need to buy?
@@BigCVlogs my wife just got the 3080 and we are trying to run two monitors. One HDMI to the left side monitor and the D cable to the right. The right side remains black, you can move the mouse over and see it on the screen but that it. Any suggestions? She starts her new job in the morning and we are trying to figure it out. Thank you in advanced!
@@BigCVlogs ok, will do. Thank you very much for the reply. We are waiting for log in information, is there any reason that the first screen would work but not the second because we can't log in yet?
This thing has the same exact specs as a Toshiba from 2010. It also seems similar in size to the motherboard in it. If they're making it from recycled laptops, that's really cool. I'd love that form factor for my replacement to that 2010 laptop (I use it for a small server) but it isn't worth 400 bucks to me.
Great review, i'm going to buy the i5-7500T version with 500 gb hdd (7200rpm) and maybe later on install a SSD drive. Btw, do you get a windows 10 disk? Or is it allready preinstalled? I'm going to use it for primarily netflix, movies home theatre purpose.
Hello, Windows 10 is Preinstalled. The SSD would make the OS and boot times faster but for Netfolix the HDD would be fine. What home theatre software are you using? I use Plex. It's amazing! I have a whole server setup with 4TB of movies.
Great review thanks, I usually open more than 15 tabs on google chrome most of them youtube, also multiple spreadsheets and other Microsoft office programs. Do you suggest any desktop or laptop that can handle this?
Hello Joseph, your going to want a desktop or laptop with a good amount of memory and an SSD. See if the store called Micro Center is close to you. If so you could likely find a laptop or desktop with 8 to 16 gigs of RAM and an SSD for $600 or so. You may even be able to find one for $500, but the more memory in the SSD would allow you to keep those windows open without the computer slowing down. As for desktop or laptop. That's kinda your choice. You will get more power for the same price with a desktop. The laptop is more expensive due to the screen.
I'd suggest switching to Firefox. For a while, FF was the clear choice over IE until Chrome came along. Chrome was great for a while as Firefox got heavier and slower. But then Chrome became more and more bogged down. The newer versions of Firefox (Quantum)..... I don't know what they did but it's outstanding. It really is. So much faster than Firefox was. My only real gripe (and this is small enough) is that I prefer the way Chrome sorts browsing history by last accessed (rather than FF's days) and pulls from all devices I am signed in to (and the way it syncs in general across devices, actually). Firefox's sync is not quite as well integrated
HEY I bought a 7080 Optiplex. But their is Only one Headphone Jack. And When i put the Headphone in It only works as a Microphone or as a Speaker. Kindly help
Thats a tricky question in a way. SOME of the 3050 models DO have wifi and others do not. I dont think the one in my video had WiFI from what I can remember though.
This is all we use at work. I want to get one to run emulators but the model numbering scheme is all over the place, it's hard to find out which models to look for (need an i5/i7 and an ok GPU)
Bro I got a free dell 27 inch monitor with like 8 cords and a small box plus power box and tried to hook my laptop up threw it cause I didn't no wtf it was almost threw it in the damn garbage it had me so pissed off that I'm have to go to church this week and I believe it's a micro PC lol idk just starting video thanks thought I'd share

I would say go directly to Dell but that could cost you $100+. I'd check Amazon first. That's normally were I buy them to avoid paying name brand prices.
You can add wifi to this: Look into the intel wifi 7260 card. You want the one with a center center top screw mount and not the card that has two screw (one in each corner)
Hate to say it but I doubt it. It has Intel graphics, I don't think it's strong enough for GTA even on low settings. You could try it though. Won't hurt anything.
It only has Intel graphics but Minecraft does not need much power. While I don't wanna give you incorrect information, I'm fairly certain this would play Minecraft.

Hi I'd like to ask if up until now this micro pc still works fine? coz this video is 5yrs ago.
So far it's still good. Running at this same clients location.
I have one with a i5 in it and there is no hdmi, how do I connect it to my monitor/TV?
It should have vga or display port. You may need to get an adapter if your monitor/tv is only HDMI.
@@BigCVlogs okay thanks buddy.
@@BigCVlogs I really appreciate it and this video cause when I received the unit I had no idea of what those ports were.
OMG. That PC is tiny. The ad in the Dell catalog makes it look a lot bigger.
There are 3 different sizes with the same name. Look for micro vs. mini.
hi! with a ssd or m.2 nvme and 8 gig its perfect. 🙂 (2023)
#Facts!
I just want to ask if we can connect another monitor for this one? Or maybe it's only applicable for one monitor.
Hello, yes you can have more than 1 monitor on this PC. I actually set this one up with 2 monitors.
@@BigCVlogs Thank you! 💕
How do you run two monitors? DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and then connect to monitor. And another HDMI to hdmi?
@@adriancontreras8452did you figure it out
Are you able to run dual monitors natively or do you need one of those special adapters from Startech.
It can run natively, one HDMIand display port.

....and wipe out dust from table dude, poor computer
Would you reccomend this for gaming? Im on a budget and im really looking to buy something good to run games like gta and stuff
I would not, you will need some much more powerful for gaming.
@@BigCVlogs what would you recommend

Is it possible to install SSD (for operating system) into M.2 interface and use HDD (in SATA interface) at the same time?

Can you hook up dual monitors if so how
Yes, either with display port and HDMI or HDMI and VGA. Depending on what your model has. This one has display port and HDMI.
does it have ell OptiPlex 3050 optical input?
The version I had did not have an optical input, but some versions of this desktop may have come with one.
@@BigCVlogs thank you for replying

Can we open this cpu?? If yes how?? I don't see screws on the cpu
Yes, the one big screw on the back should unscrew but not come completely out and then you can slide the top off.
How do I get that hdmi VGA adapter and for how much bucks ?
You can get them on Amazon for about $10 or so. Or at a microcenter if that store is near you. Not sure if best buy Carry's them.
Have this at work, its alright, wouldn't have this at home lmao
where is the mic input for this good sir?
Sadly I don't recall one, would need the combo mic/speakers for the head phone jack on the front of the PC.
There's the mic below the "Optiplex 3050".
I got this PC yesterday
is it good?
I used to have one of them pc until I tried to experiment with something which did not plan well because I try to use it for gaming
Where can I find a cheap replacement ac adapter for power?
I would say go directly to Dell but that could cost you $100+. I'd check Amazon first. That's normally were I buy them to avoid paying name brand prices.
It likely will not be found at a local Best Buy or anything. Just Dell and maybe Amazon.
Bro I got the i5 for 142 dollars
That's pretty dope!
there is no cd drive ? how can i install using cd.
You would need an external cd/dvd drive or download the disk from the internet.
thank you..
thats a vga, not a dvi
and thats a displayport, not an hdmi
Does it support 3 monitor?
Sadly I never tried that. With the processor and specs, I honestly think it would.
Can you put a 2nd HD on it?
Sadly you cannot. I did take this unit apart and there is only room for 1.
you can put a M.2 memory

-THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!! 🤣🤣

If only Dell make Micro Desktop Pcs Faster and Stronger like the regular Computers
yeah but the they will cost more than a normal PC due to it being so small
They have. New models cost just as much as high end laptops.
Nice video!!!!
Can I add a VGA card?
Not that I know of. That vga port you can see on the back is from a different model that uses vga. It's fixed to the motherboard on that model.
Yes if you get one from dell having a VGA output is an optional add-on.
Where I work we have thousends of these things.
Is this good fornoofice work?
Yes, this is a perfect office PC. Just no imaging, audio/video editing or anything.
Is the RAM upgradable?
Yes, I have one with 8gb, seen them with 16gb if get 8gb sticks.... It is laptop 2400mhz ram....ddr4
I have a one . I can play pubg in it or
What is the display port for
I love that Hobbit's ost :)
Price and web links.
Does it have wifi?
This model did not. But they do make a model that's about $50 more expensive with WiFi.
Thanks for the quick response! Do you know if you can add a pcie wifi card?
It doesnt have PCIe slots.
You can add wifi to this: Look into the intel wifi 7260 card. You want the one with a center center top screw mount and not the card that has two screw (one in each corner)
which is the maximum memory supported?
32gb as far as I am aware
A great setup!

Can I GTA V ON IT on low setting only playable fps
Hate to say it but I doubt it. It has Intel graphics, I don't think it's strong enough for GTA even on low settings. You could try it though. Won't hurt anything.
can this run minecraft
It only has Intel graphics but Minecraft does not need much power. While I don't wanna give you incorrect information, I'm fairly certain this would play Minecraft.
