Optiplex 7090 Ultra: PC is in a separate module
The secret: Dell has put the PC hardware in a separate module (see picture at the bottom) that latches into the stand of the monitor. If the display is defective, it can be exchanged for a new one. If the computer is defective, the module can also give way to a new model. Of course, this also applies if the technology is getting on in years and it is necessary to replace it with new, more powerful hardware. Dell offers modules in different versions from 760 euros.
The module housed in the base houses the entire technology of the Dell Optiplex 7090 Ultra, which is also found in classic notebooks.

Good screen
They twitch over the built-in display, which is almost 24 inches and, as is usual with many cheaper all-in-one PCs, shows content in Full HD (1920×1080 pixels). This is a good choice for office programs. This means that the display of menus is not as small as with displays with a higher resolution, which are, however, better suited for the detailed editing of photos or videos in 4K. The other picture quality of the display is good: the color fidelity is 97 percent, the contrast a very decent 1,036: 1. Also important: the display is matt. So there are less annoying reflections.Practical: Teams video conferences can be started at the push of a button on the front of the Dell Optiplex 7090 Ultra.
Quiet and economical
The processor in the Dell (Core i5-1145G7) is one of the energy-saving models. It consumes a maximum of 15 watts because Intel developed it for use in notebooks. A clear advantage, because the All-in-One from Dell is content with only 32 watts in normal operation, and even under full load it only draws 64 watts. The low power consumption in turn ensures little waste heat. The fans hardly have to be turned on. In normal operation, the computer works very quietly: With 0.3 sone, it can hardly be heard even in very quiet surroundings. And at full load it holds back comfortably with 0.6 sone.
There are a comparatively large number of connections on the underside of the Dell Optiplex 7090 Ultra monitor.
