Beware of DELL OPTIPLEX (N-SERIES) which DO NOT HAVE AN OS.
The n Series is a Dell product line that does not ship with a pre-installed version of Microsoft Windows. Apparently prohibited from shipping computers without an operating system by an existing licensing agreement with Microsoft, Dell instead ships these systems with either the open-source FreeDOS operating system or the Ubuntu Linux distribution not preinstalled, but on install disks.
In addition to these Designators there are Some Series that only have 3 or 4 Sizes instead of 5
