Dell sells desktop PCs in several form factors, from small form factor and micro designs to full towers. The Dell facts available to us describe the Pro Max Slim Small Form Factor AI PC and the OptiPlex small form factor and tower desktops, but we could not confirm the exact processor, RAM, storage and operating system of each Dell configuration. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC, which is also a compact desktop and is sold with a choice of Intel and AMD processors.
