-
Wider processor choice: the Treo line spans Intel Core i3 to i7, Intel Core Ultra 5, and AMD Ryzen 5 options.
-
Higher maximum storage: Treo models support SSD storage up to 2 TB.
-

-
Trade-off: the OptiPlex 7070 Micro is the platform the Treo's Dell-style micro chassis is designed to replace; its 9th Gen processor is older than every Treo option, so the Treo is the stronger choice for newer workloads.
