Small Form Factor Dell OptiPlex
Dell has recently announced an update to their popular commercial Optiplex systems.
These systems are designed to be as small as possible saving valuable space and avoiding clutter in the workspace.
Not only are the new OptiPlex PCs small, but Dell says its new OptiPlex 780 USFF is the smallest fully functional commercial desktop PC with an integrated PSU and Intel vPro technology. The versatile system comes built around Intel’s Core 2 Duo technology and offers up support for Windows 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Ubuntu "in select countries." Other features include advanced systems management options, full disk encryption, and up to a 90 percent efficient power supply, which Dell boasts is better than HP’s Compaq dc7900 Ultra-slim and Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M58p Ultra SFF business class machine.
Dell also announced the OptiPlex 380, which is being aimed at customers in emerging countries and businesses looking for a budget-friendly solution with room to grow. It too supports the same OSes as the 780 USFF, and comes with an "easy to service chassis" with DirectDetect LED diagnostic lights.
