Our take on the Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro Desktop

The OptiPlex 3060 Micro is Dell's tiny business desktop: a 1-liter chassis with an 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8500T, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and an 800 GB SSD in this configuration. It is built for desk work, point-of-sale and back-office tasks where a full tower is unwanted, and it mounts behind a monitor or under a desk. Against newer micro PCs it gives up some CPU efficiency and Thunderbolt, but the RAM and SSD here are generous for office work. Owners of the Micro line praise the small footprint and quiet running; the trade-offs are limited upgrade room and no room for a graphics card.

Questions and answers

Is the OptiPlex 3060 Micro good for everyday office work?
Yes. The six-core i5-8500T, 32 GB of RAM and SSD handle documents, spreadsheets, browsing and video calls comfortably.
Can I add a graphics card?
No. The Micro chassis has no room for a dedicated GPU, so it relies on Intel integrated graphics.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. It uses two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots and an M.2 SSD, and the case opens without tools.
How does it compare with a full-size OptiPlex tower?
It is far smaller and quieter but has fewer ports and no expansion slots for a graphics card or extra drives.
Does it support multiple monitors?
Yes. The rear ports include DisplayPort and HDMI, so you can run two displays without an adapter.
What is in the box?
The desktop unit and its power adapter; a keyboard and mouse are not guaranteed, so check the listing.
Where is the Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro Desktop cheapest?
