About the Dell Slim Desktop ECS1250 (Core i3-14100, 8 GB, 512 GB)
The Dell Slim Desktop is the cheapest complete Windows desktop we list in the US. In this base configuration it pairs a 4-core Intel Core i3-14100 with Intel UHD Graphics 730, 8 GB of DDR5 on one module and a 512 GB SSD, with Windows 11 Home, Wi-Fi 6, a wired keyboard and a wired mouse in the box. It handles email, office files, browsing, school work and video calls.
The case is 9.5 cm wide and 30 cm tall, so it stands beside a monitor or under a desk without trouble. The front has a 5 Gbps USB-C port, three USB-A ports and a headset jack; the back has four more USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 for two screens, and Gigabit Ethernet. 8 GB fills up fast with many browser tabs: a second memory module is the upgrade to plan.
