Specifications of OptiPlex 7490 All-in-One

Dimensions and weight
The following table lists the height, width, depth, and weight of your OptiPlex 7490 All-in-One.

NOTE: The weight of your computer depends on the configuration ordered and manufacturing variability.

Processor
The following table lists the height, width, depth, and weight of your OptiPlex 7490 All-in-One.

NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.

Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that only available on Windows 10 Enterprise today. Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features. When you configure together, it locks a device and it can only run trusted applications. Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) and only privileged system software can access the system. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets

NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability subject to change and may vary by region/country.
