Pro Micro1Maker product pagedell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/spd/dellpromicroqcm1250Read 7 October 2026Current original US maker page identifies the ordinary Dell Pro Micro QCM1250 family, distinct from Micro Plus. The former Singapore 512 GB selection was a historical family comparison and is not the retained US V6TNK 256 GB reference. Current US default i5 configuration is qualified separately in manufacturer_url.
