The query names only the brand Dell, and the facts we have describe how to check the hardware configuration of a Dell computer. We could not confirm the specifications of a specific Dell model, so this page compares Thinvent's closest compact and industrial PCs with the Dell model you are looking at once you identify it. Thinvent's nearest matches are the Aero Mini PC with an Intel Core i3-1215U and the IPC3 and IPC5 Industrial PCs with Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors.
