Serious processing room for architects, surveyors, video editors and data analysts who have outgrown an entry-level PC.
Condition: Used
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Dell Precision 3640 is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 48,000, a used workstation tower carrying an Intel Core i7 10th Gen processor, 16GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. Dell built the Dell Precision 3640 on its Intel W480 workstation chipset, with two M.2 NVMe slots, four memory slots and a graphics slot rated for cards drawing up to 300W. That combination gives a design office real headroom at a used price. Walk into our store at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and we will boot it up for you.
Designed for architects, quantity surveyors, GIS analysts, video editors and developers, the Dell Precision 3640 handles drawing software, large spreadsheets, code builds and photo editing in one sitting. Small studios in Westlands and Kilimani often push budget office desktops into design work, then lose hours to lag and crashes. A Core i7 with 16GB of memory keeps big files moving, and the board takes up to 128GB when projects grow. A front USB-C port and up to ten rear and front USB sockets make camera cards, drives and drawing tablets easy to connect.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell workstation towers with no paperwork and no service desk, Mascom International stands behind the Dell Precision 3640 with a 6-month warranty and a store you can visit. At Mascom International, we're seeing more consultants and content creators move from laptops to a desk tower for long rendering and export sessions. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the extra memory changes daily work most. Order on WhatsApp and pay only when the Dell Precision 3640 reaches you, whether you work from Upper Hill, Eldoret or Kisumu.
Common Questions About the Dell Precision 3640
What is the used Dell Precision 3640 i7 10th Gen 16GB price in Kenya?
The used Dell Precision 3640 with a Core i7 10th Gen, 16GB RAM and 500GB HDD sells for KSh 48,000 at Mascom International, Nairobi CBD. You get the system unit, a tested power cable and 6 months of hardware cover, with pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide. Buyers who only need office work can save KSh 25,000 with the Dell Precision 3620, which has a Core i5 6th Gen and 8GB RAM at KSh 23,000. The 3640 is four processor generations newer and carries double the memory.
Is this Dell Precision 3640 used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This Dell Precision 3640 is a used unit, lightly used internationally and brought into Kenya without ever serving a local owner. A refurbished machine has been restored by its maker or a certified workshop with replaced parts and a set checklist. Ours is sold as it left its first office, in clean used condition, and checked before sale. Front port layout, case marks and drive hours differ from one tower to the next, so ask on WhatsApp for photos of yours. Mascom International covers it for 6 months.
Should I choose the Dell Precision 3640 or the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7?
The Dell Precision 3640 at KSh 48,000 costs KSh 6,000 less than the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 10th Gen with 16GB RAM at KSh 54,000. Both are workstation towers from the same processor generation with matching memory. The difference sits in storage: the P340 pairs a 128GB SSD with a 1TB HDD, while the 3640 carries a single 500GB HDD. Pick the P340 if you want fast start-up out of the box. Pick the Dell Precision 3640 if you prefer to save money and add your own SSD later.
Will the Dell Precision 3640 cope with heat and humidity in a Mombasa office?
The Dell Precision 3640 is a full-size tower with room for air to move around its parts, which helps in coastal heat. In humid towns such as Mombasa, Malindi and Kilifi, keep it in a ventilated or air-conditioned room and away from open windows. Clean the front intake every few months, since salt air and dust settle on fans and heatsinks. Use a UPS or surge protector, because power dips can harm any desktop. Dell offered this tower with 300W, 460W or 550W power supplies, so confirm yours on WhatsApp.
Can the Dell Precision 3640 run AutoCAD, Revit and ArcGIS?
Yes, the Dell Precision 3640 with a Core i7 10th Gen and 16GB RAM runs 2D drafting in AutoCAD and moderate models in Revit and ArcGIS. Larger 3D scenes and rendering lean on the graphics card, and Dell listed options from NVIDIA Quadro P400 up to Quadro RTX 5000 for this tower. Whether your unit has a graphics card fitted varies, so confirm it on WhatsApp first. Students at JKUAT and the University of Nairobi doing architecture coursework will find the memory comfortable for big drawing sets.
Is the Dell Precision 3640 good for video editing and content creation?
The Dell Precision 3640 handles 1080p editing in tools such as DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro well, thanks to its Core i7 10th Gen and 16GB RAM. Content creators shooting for YouTube or TikTok can cut, colour and export without the stalls common on office desktops. The 500GB HDD holds about 64 hours of 1080p footage at 130MB a minute. For smoother timelines, add an NVMe SSD in one of the two M.2 slots as a working drive. Heavier 4K projects benefit from a dedicated graphics card.
Can I add an SSD and more memory to the Dell Precision 3640?
The Dell Precision 3640 has two M.2 2280 NVMe slots, three 3.5-inch drive bays and SATA ports, according to Dell's spec sheet. That means you can add a fast SSD for the system and keep the 500GB HDD for files. Memory grows across four DIMM slots to a ceiling of 128GB DDR4. A spare M.2 2230 slot accepts an optional Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 card. Mascom International can advise on matching parts through WhatsApp before you spend.
Who should buy the Dell Precision 3640, and who should skip it?
Buy the Dell Precision 3640 if your work involves drawing software, data analysis, coding or video, and you want workstation hardware without paying new prices. It suits architecture firms, survey offices, software teams and serious creators. Skip it if you only type documents, browse and file KRA returns, because you would pay for power you will not use. Those buyers are better off with the Dell Precision 3620 at KSh 23,000 or the Lenovo ThinkCentre M910s i5 7th Gen at KSh 22,500, both in stock.

- Two M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slots — fit fast solid-state drives for near-instant start-up and quick project loading.
- Three internal 3.5-inch bays — holding three large hard drives or four 2.5-inch drives for archives.
- RAID 0/1/5/10 through Intel Rapid Storage — mirrored drives keep a second copy of client work if one disk fails.
- Optional PCIe x8 Ultra-Speed drive with active cooling — Dell's add-in card for extra NVMe storage with its own cooling fan.
Graphics Capability
- Graphics card fitment varies between units — check on WhatsApp what your Dell Precision 3640 carries before paying.
- Intel integrated graphics on select processors — drives office work, HD video and multiple displays with no extra card.
- One full-height PCIe x16 Gen3 slot — the standard slot for a professional or gaming graphics card.
- Supports cards drawing up to 300W — twice the 150W limit of the Dell Precision 3620, opening up heavier cards.
- Dell's listed options include NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 and AMD Radeon Pro W5500 — certified cards for design software.
Connectivity and Ports
- Front USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port with PowerShare — charges a phone and connects modern drives even while the PC sleeps.
- Rear USB set of two USB 3.2 Gen2, two USB 3.2 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 — plenty for printers, drives and dongles.
- Two DisplayPort outputs plus an optional video port — drive two or three monitors for drawings and timelines.
- Intel I219-LM Gigabit Ethernet — a wired port for steady uploads to clients over a fibre connection.
- Optional M.2 Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 module — ask on WhatsApp whether your unit has one fitted.
Build and Form Factor
- Tower case measuring 33.5 x 17.7 x 34.5 cm — shorter in depth than the older 3620, so it fits smaller desks.
- Weight from about 9.4 kg — solid enough to stay put on a desk, light enough to carry to a client.
- Power supply of 300W, 460W or 550W depending on unit — 80 PLUS ratings mean less electricity lost as heat.
- Expansion slots include PCIe x16, PCIe x4 and one legacy PCI — room for capture cards, network cards and older gear.
- Dell add-in options include Thunderbolt 3 and ID card readers with pre-boot sign-in — useful for fast external drives and secure logins.
