HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini Business Desktop – 8th Gen Intel 6-Core i7-8700T Processor up to 4.00 GHz, 16GB Memory, 512GB Solid State Drive, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) (Renewed)

Dead on arrival
As soon as I plugged in it, I got an error code. 3 red flashes followed by 4 fast white flashes. Upon googling the error code my best guess is a defective power supply or the entire unit is toast. Wont boot up or even post the bios. Extremally disappointing considering I also order the HDMI expansion card, a new NVME and 64gb of ram im going to have to return. Also, unit was listed as having WIFI but had no wifi expansion card. Sticker on the bottom says its the i5 model but was listen as an i7, cant even boot up to confirm I have the correct unit.

Missing hdd fan
Missing the hdd fan. All you have to do is turn on the computer and it states this error on boot up every time. I already had a couple of these in my stock, so it wasn’t a big deal for me, but it may be a big deal for those that isn’t a pro like I am.

Works well, and almost as advertised.
I bought the “HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini Business Desktop – 8th Gen Intel 6-Core i7-8700T Processor up to 4.00 GHz, 16GB Memory, 512GB Solid State Drive, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)” version. The specs in the title are correct and operates perfectly out of the box. Also came in with Windows 10 Pro, which is very nice as it saves me additional money from buying a legitimate Windows license. As for the product condition, I wouldn’t say it was in “Excellent” condition, but there are some slight but noticable cosmetic damage on mine (like a couple of dents on the edges). The cosmetic condition will not affect my review, as I’m not expecting too much from a “Renewed” product and technically the cosmetic damage isn’t really that noticeable from 12 inches away…Pros:+ Speed: This PC is very responsive and will work perfectly for what its intended: Office Work, or Business-related tasks.+ Windows 10 Pro: The pro edition allows for advanced modification to the system which the Home edition does not. As an aspiring IT professional, this might interest some people to test it out.+ Upgradability: Not only does this computer sport a Samsung NVME SSD (Albeit not the commercial ones), it also sports an extra M.2 Slot. For RAM, it can hold up to 2 slots of SODIMM Laptop Memory. This PC came with one 16 GB RAM stick, and had 1 extra slot open for another RAM stick. Also for those who are interested, the PC is compatible to upgrade to Windows 11.+ Portability/Repairability: This product is small enough to carry around and bring to other places with ease. I can see this being very useful especially if a client needs to get this PC fixed. The PC can just be unscrewed manually using your 2 fingers (if its not tightly screwed in) and pushed apart to easily make changes to the PC.Con:- Missing Features: The description in the product page stated that there was a “Slim DVD-Writer” and a “WiFi Adapter” that came with this PC. I came in well aware that this model does not have a DVD-Writer, but this product was missing a “M.2/NGFF M.2 Key A or E Slot” Wifi 6 card. No worries though, I did find a WiFi 6 card for about $17 on Amazon.- Lack of HDMI support: This PC only sports 2 Display Port and 1 VGA Port. This was not a deal-breaker for me (because you can just use an adapter for those that only use pre-existing HDMI cables in their household).Overall, for first impressions I feel pretty happy to have made this purchase, and would most likely buy it again. It seems very excellent to purchase for home or business needs. Be aware though, not everything in the description of the product page will be accurate, and each configuration of the PCs being shipped to you may vary. I would definitely recommend to take your time to extensively inspect/test your product within the 90-day guarantee just in case.Edit: Typos and grammatical error fix

Quick Service
The computer shipped quickly and was just as described. The packaging was a little sparce but there did not appear to be any damage to the computer. The power brick, however, was not as lucky. It was either damaged in shipment or it was just defective. After a couple of short emails with the seller they sent a replacement power brick and all was right with the world.For “normal” activities (office documents, web browsing, email, watching videos, etc.) this computer will work great. I used the upgrade tool from Microsoft to upgrade it from Windows 10 that it shipped with to Windows 11 with no major pains. Probably would not recommend it for someone that wants to play anything more than the most basic games.

Quiet and energy efficient, but powerful enough to run many services in my home lab. Recommended!

Delivery was a little slow but only by one day, computer was perfect except for the vga port. When I went to deliver it I found the vga port did not work. Other than that the computer performed flawlessly. Great buy for the money.
