Looking for a solid, reasonably priced desktop Windows PC without the clunky box? The Dell Optiplex AIO 3240 All-In-One Desktop Computer might be just what you seek, whether you're equipping a computer lab at college, buying a system for the new intern or just like the big 21.5" monitor rather than peering at a tiny laptop screen.

dave taylor here again and this time i'm
0:07
looking at the dell optiplex aio3240
0:12
this is this guy it's an all-in-one
0:14
desktop and it's actually really cool
0:17
basically the idea is if you really
0:19
don't want a laptop and there's plenty
0:21
of situations where you don't want one
0:23
then this as a desktop works great
0:25
because what's missing there's no extra
0:28
box
0:29
all the computer is on the back of the
0:31
screen so it's actually really very
0:34
slick and this one in particular comes
0:36
with what they call the height
0:37
adjustable stand so
0:39
i can easily raise it and lower it and
0:42
there's some stuff in the back you can
0:44
change angles and stuff so you can
0:46
really get it to be just where you want
0:48
it to be and in this case i also got the
0:50
wireless dell keyboard
0:53
and the wireless dell mouse and before
0:55
you think oh come on dude that's like a
0:57
huge amount of extra money this pair
0:59
known as the
1:01
km-636 and you can't say dell doesn't
1:03
have great product names the km636 only
1:06
45 bucks through dell so you get both of
1:10
them and they immediately just works
1:12
with the optiplex so it's super great
1:14
it's just super easy and you can see
1:17
here it's a big 1080p screen this is
1:20
actually a 21.5 inch screen running at
1:23
1080p which means that you can watch hd
1:26
movies if you choose to use netflix or
1:29
something it's going to look great on
1:31
this it's really like a little 21 inch
1:33
tv and of course you're running windows
1:35
10 pro
1:37
so i got all the windows 10 goodness
1:40
hopefully you look at windows 10 as
1:41
something that has goodness
1:43
i do and this is a pretty basic
1:46
configuration so this is not your like
1:48
huge gamer
1:50
liquid cooled complicated device this is
1:52
something that would be great for an
1:55
intern at your company it could be
1:57
really good in a dorm room for example
1:59
or if you need to equip a computer lab
2:01
this is the kind of computer you're
2:02
going to use so it is 4 gig of ram and
2:05
it has a 500 gig hard drive so it's not
2:08
bad but it's only running an intel i3
2:11
6100 as dual core so it's not breaking
2:15
any speed records but still you can see
2:17
when i'm you know doing basic stuff it
2:19
certainly is reasonably peppy where this
2:22
really is set apart is how many ports it
2:24
has this is a crazy amount of ports so
2:27
first let me show you this is underneath
2:30
so this is where you would find here so
2:33
let me show you all the ports here and
2:36
then on the side there's a whole nother
2:38
set of ports so between them you have
2:41
you ready for this
2:42
four usb 3 ports
2:45
two usb 2 ports hdmi display port and of
2:50
course you get that ethernet jack so you
2:52
got a ton of different ways to connect
2:54
and on the side you also have a
2:56
headphone jack so if you don't want to
2:58
bother your roommate or you're in a lab
3:00
and you really don't want to have 15
3:02
different computers simultaneously
3:05
helping people learn spanish or
3:06
something
3:07
headphone jack for the win it's actually
3:10
surprising a lot of computers now are
3:11
moving towards just bluetooth and i'm
3:13
not a big fan of that because it just
3:15
adds a lot of complexity and you end up
3:17
with crosstalk if you get a lot of
3:18
bluetooth devices in the same room
3:21
make it wired works nice and easy so
3:23
what else can i tell you about this
3:25
it's pretty light considering what it is
3:27
and really a lot of the way it ends up
3:28
being the stand because this is a pretty
3:31
solid stand it's not going anywhere
3:33
with the stand the whole thing runs just
3:35
under 14 pounds not bad i mean it'd be a
3:38
really heavy laptop but as a all-in-one
3:41
computer that's actually a really nice
3:43
spec and let's see what i was going to
3:45
tell you about it really there's not
3:47
much else to talk about it's just a
3:48
really nice solution it's a really nice
3:51
all-in-one i know my sister's interested
3:54
in the all-in-one units because she's
3:56
living the rv life or will be soon and
3:58
this is the perfect kind of computer for
4:00
that because she doesn't want to live on
4:01
an 11 inch or 13 inch screen this is
4:04
nice and big and obviously can double as
4:06
for example maybe a bedroom television
4:08
or something anyway this is the dell
4:11
optiplex a i o 3240 all in one desktop
4:16
and starting price for this unit is
4:18
about 729
4:20
at dell.com and the configurations
4:23
increment up from there of course
4:24
depending on what you want and i have
4:27
the wireless keyboard and mouse which
4:28
adds about another 45 bucks really
4:31
pretty painless so this is dave taylor
4:33

4:34
