OptiPlex models (mostly produced in 2003 and 2004), notably the GX270, suffered from frequent failures due to faulty capacitors supplied by Nichicon as part of the capacitor plague. These capacitors would bulge and leak, resulting in product failure after only a few years of use. Leaked internal documents allege that Dell knew that the computers were likely to fail, and continued to ship them. [7] [8] [9] Series 4 [ edit ]

The results were more or less as expected, with the Dell trailing the Core i9-powered Intel NUC but easily clearing the 4,000-point score that indicates excellent office productivity. (The macOS-based Mac mini is incompatible with this Windows benchmark.) First to have new midnight-gray chassis. One of the last Dells to support two floppy drives.

The latest models with a trusted platform module. The USFF cable cover increases the dimensions of the machine (available in standard and extended sizes). PS/2 connectors available only via optional accessory card that includes 9-pin serial connector. Lohr, Steve (1993-08-18). "COMPANY REPORTS; With First Loss, Dell Shifts Gears on Pursuing Growth".

The 2018 "Kaby Lake-G" Intel NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK "Hades Canyon"(since out of support) included AMD's peppy Radeon RX Vega M graphics acceleration on the same die as processor. (Earlier Intel NUCs relied solely on Intel's own integrated HD Graphics or Iris solutions.) That means well-above-average graphics performance in a system this size. A riser card is available which converts a low profile PCIe x16 and PCI or two PCI or one PCIe x16 and PCI full height. the last PCI (and PCIe x16 on 960/980) remains low profile.
