Dell Inc

Dell Inc is a large technology company, and the query names the brand rather than one model. Dell's OptiPlex XE3 is a small form factor desktop PC, and the facts we could confirm for it cover its setup and general layout only. We could not confirm the OptiPlex XE3's processor options, memory, storage or operating system configurations.

The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC. It is a mini PC with Intel processors, from the Intel Celeron N5095A up to the Intel Core i7 12th generation, and it can be ordered with 4 GB to 64 GB of RAM and 128 GB to 2 TB of SSD storage.
