Standard configurations include 8 GB of DDR4 memory, which can be expanded up to 64 GB in Tower/SFF and 32 GB in Micro models, enabling smooth operation across productivity, analytical, and multitasking workflows .

Storage options are flexible: M.2 SSDs (128–512 GB) for fast loading times, 2.5″/3.5″ HDDs (up to 1–2 TB), with support for extra drives and Intel Optane expansions. Tower and SFF variants also support discrete graphics cards like NVIDIA GTX or AMD Radeon models for enhanced graphical performance .

Connectivity is plentiful—USB-A (gen‑2), USB‑C (10 Gbps), multiple DisplayPort outputs, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, audio jacks, and optional legacy PS/2. Tower models include full PCIe expansion slots, while SFF and Micro share compact I/O suited to small workspaces.
