For instance, the new OptiPlex mini tower computer is 43 per cent smaller than the previous generation. Dell also says that its new OptiPlex micro desktops can save more than 7700 square feet of workspace when replacing 10 000 legacy desktops. The new OptiPlex line includes the OptiPlex 7040, which is an enterprise-class desktop computer that can offer discrete graphics, dual hard drives and up to three displays; the OptiPlex 5040, which is a fully featured commercial desktop with advanced performance; the OptiPlex 3040, which is a business desktop that combines high performance with the lowest entry price point for a commercial desktop; the OptiPlex 24 7000 Series all-in-one computers with sleek and premium design and 23.8-inch Full HD monitors and the OptiPlex 22 3000 all-in-one computers with business-class performance, various productivity features and new 21.5-inch Full HD displays.
