Anyone familiar with the Dell OptiPlex 9010?

I'm currently working off of small form factor 7010 i5, but this OptiPlex 9010 has the touchscreen and a i5vpro processor. I think the 9010 processes large datasets a lot faster.

I am thinking about making this my data machine, however the monitor is so awesome that I love it for creating documentation.

Anyone familiar with this piece of hardware? For some reason my boss just dumped this machine on my desk and said have at it. I know part of the reason is the WMI script I run eat a ton of resources, since I run multiple concurrently.

Tough call.

    Nope, can't say that I am. I'm rolling with an Optiplex 790 myself. We have a mix of 3010 (For the weak, and the fan is loud) as well as 7010s out in the wild.

    We use them, they have been great machines. Albeit they are early in their lifecycle.

    We have two 9010's at our work, used for heavy x-ray scanning and 3d modeling. Heavy workhorse machines.

    Eh, mostly working on the O7010's right now, unless it's for our SE teams and so forth. Not cool enough for the 9010's yet, :P

    It's my second machine, I love the display it really clean and great for documentation, but the processing power is far greater than my 7010 SFF.

    We run the whole optiplex line. Not alot of the 9010's though as i don't find a material difference in speed if it has a SSD and we're an autocad heavy company.

    I worked with 50 of them as of late. My work had a convention and we made a touchscreen kiosk solution using Windows 8. So far they are great computers. The DVD drive is lack luster to say the least. Should have been a slot drive like the Imac. However replacing the internals on the 9010's is lightyears easier than an Imac. If you don't have one already you can put in a SSD or 2 since there is room and also throw in more ram if its not already maxed out.

    All in all its a great computer. I only dealt with the 23" 1080p model.
