    Just to clarify, is this 9500 or 9500T?

    • Dogsrule on 04/05/2023 - 11:42

      9500, 3Ghz 65W according to description.

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 04/05/2023 - 12:13

      We have the 9500t available if these run out:

        Apologise for some noob questions. Is it good for office use ? We need something for our small office but need a large storage for Word and PDF files. What else do I need in the setup ? Just add monitor and keyboard ??? Can it connect to wireless wifi modemn ??? Bluetooth ???

        • JustAnExPat on 04/05/2023 - 13:38

          according to Dell's website you've got several options - as per "Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro Setup and Specifications"

          Storage combinations
          PRIMARY/BOOT DRIVE M.2 Drive
          SECONDARY DRIVE 2.5 inch HDD/ SSD

          (*) Note that as soon as primary drive becomes "2.5 inch HDD / SSD" then you cannot have a secondary drive.

          Communications

          Network adapter

          Intel i219-LM Gigabit Ethernet LAN 10/100/1000 (Remote Wake Up, PXE support and Intel Active Management Technology support)

          Wireless

          Qualcomm QCA61x4A Dual-band 2x2 802.11ac Wireless with MU-MIMO + Bluetooth 4.2
          Intel Wireless-AC 9560, Dual-band 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO + Bluetooth 5

          So what you can conclude from that is that storage-wise you have to decide whether 256GB is enough for your storage needs.
          Windows can grow a fair bit over the years (I've had it larger than 50GB), with some overhead that leaves you with 150GB for applications and documents.
          If not enough then either you just get a bigger drive, or you add another one. With the latter it then depends on what type of primary drive you get with this machine, as you can have only 1 M2 SSD and one ordinary SSD or 2.5" hard disk. You'd have to go onto ebay and ask the seller.

          With regards to wireless, according to Dell it's covered, but best to confirm with seller (on ebay, as per above).

          Then just add KB/mouse and monitor to have a working setup.

              @sistermay: by the way, if it is really only Office documents and PDFs you'll be handling, then there's also this deal from yesterday:
              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/772268
              CPU is one generation older, and as it's the "T" type it's lower wattage (meaning it's got some performance loss but also like half the energy consumption)… for pure office-like tools it still suffices, and it still genuinely runs Windows 11 (read: no hacks required to make it work, the CPU is new enough for it).
              Has got same size storage, but only 8GB RAM, and also allows for wireless usage. Would save you a bit over $100 (if ebay plus), or spend $30-40 on an extra 8GB of RAM and still save like $60.

          • airtime on 05/05/2023 - 07:24

            @JustAnExPat:

            Intel i219-LM

            If that is the network adapter, I wonder how these are going to run Windows 11. I haven't found a Windows 11 driver that works for the i219-LM, and that includes the latest Intel Wired Drivers v28.0 . The i219-LM works fine with Windows 10 but does not work with Windows 11.

            Lots of people on the lookout / waiting for Windows 11 compatible i219-LM drivers.

            EDIT:

            I did a bit of searching and some pages show these come with the i210 network adapter which works fine with Windows 11. So hopefully this model has an i210 and not i219-LM if you want it to work with Windows 11.

            @JustAnExPat: I just bought one of these and I was able to get 3 drives in there in addition to the preinstalled NVMe. But you need to get a sata power splitter to split the one sata power coming from the PSU, as well as a slimline sata to sata adapter for the other power cable that usually powers the DVD drive.

          We used to use these in our office (500 users) , upgraded to laptops so people could work from home …..they served us well, and being gen 9 it's easy to go to Win11 without hacks …… just add monitor and keyboard , Office365 and use defender for security …..
          I think these ones have power brick, so if power supply issues, get power brick off ebay, no need to a service tech to come out …..

          These are great for office use. However, I'd strongly recommend against using just this for storage of your important files - computers are cheap, all the value is in the things you create with them.

          You need a comprehensive backup procedure, even if it's just using OneDrive.

      • pinkybrain on 04/05/2023 - 16:52

        what is the difference between 9500 vs 9500T?

        is the 9500 only in the SFF model
        and 9500T only in the micro / USFF model?

        is your info in the listing incorrect for this micro model = optiplex 7070 Micro

    HP Elitedesk below from the same supplier seems to be a better deal since it has a slightly faster processor and is also cheaper.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/195582334953

    • Orrelljet on 04/05/2023 - 12:13

      According to the specs - https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-elitedesk-800-g5-des… - it has 3 x 10Gbps USB ports - 2 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C. Very nice.

      Edit. Actually, make that 4 x 10Gbps ports: 2x USB-A rear, 1 x USB-A + 1 x USB-C front.

    • Westpac on 04/05/2023 - 12:18

      Is this a good or better deal?

      • Orrelljet on 04/05/2023 - 12:30

        Looking at the specs, I'd say the HP is a better deal.

      In my experience, HP Elitedesk's failure rate is higher than Dell Optiplex Micro, it might be because of the bad thermal design. Not a problem for light usage though.

      It's almost silent. You won't hear it over the TV, but if you are sitting within 50cm of it with no other noise, you'll hear the hiss of the fan.

    • annarchon on 04/05/2023 - 13:13

      These mini typically runs with T processors at 35W. This one runs at the full blown 65W. Don't expect it to be quite.

      • nfr on 04/05/2023 - 13:30

        That's a good point.

      • atlas on 04/05/2023 - 13:38

        Yep kinda defeats the purpose of the small system if the fans have to work harder to keep the system cool

    • Dogsrule on 04/05/2023 - 20:03

      We have this exact model at work and I can confirm they are basically silent during web browsing and office work. Talk of the 65W CPU running hot is uniformed - modern CPU's throttle down to low frequency and power consumption when idle and dynamically ramp up according to load.

      • pinkybrain on 05/05/2023 - 14:01

        would it be noisy during heavy load compare to the 9500T?

        would you be able to test a heavy load somehow?
        maybe prime95 test or something etc

        • Dogsrule on 05/05/2023 - 14:40

          I can't install any programs on them unfortunately and only use them for basic duties. We have the 35W versions as well and I can basically guarantee the 65W ones will quickly throttle back to roughly the performance level of the 35W chips - the cooling solution is identical, so the fan noise during heavy loads will be the same as well. The only extra thing these chips offer is higher peak performance for a short period of time. Consider them to be a 65W peak, <35W sustained chip.

          • pinkybrain on 05/05/2023 - 16:00

            @Dogsrule: prime95 can run as portable.
            are .exe files blocked from running if it is not on the allowed list?

            still would good if you able to run prime95 as a portable just to see

            yeah interesting point about the same fan..
            if both run at max speed then the noise level should be identical (whether it is is 35W max or 65W max)
            however web browsing and office work might not be causing the fan to run at max speed.

            The only extra thing these chips offer is higher peak performance for a short period of time. Consider them to be a 65W peak, <35W sustained chip.

            So you saying most of the time 65W will run as a 35W cpu
            and only when there is some cpu taxing program, then it runs at 65W?

            Not sure if that makes sense though
            since the 9500 is running at 3.0ghz vs 2.2ghz (9500T).
            this is like the default speed..

      They have display port 1.2 for video which provides HDMI 2.0/4K60 and "should" also do HDR, according to the specs.

      Edit. Looking at the Dell specs (not the UHD 630 chip) they mention HDMI 1.4 specifically so you'll need someone to confirm I reckon.
