HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF High Performance Business Desktop Computer, Intel Quad Core i5-4590 upto 3.7GHz, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 256GB SSD (boot), DVD, WiFi, Windows 10 Professional (Renewed)

Above expectations very happy with this HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF
It was delivered on time and was in like-new condition as advertised. It has a smaller footprint than a full-size desktop which I had concerns about before I got it. However, once I opened the access panel, I was impressed. It has a recessed latched pull handle that removes the whole access panel exposing everything and no screws to unscrew or lose. Inside, not a speck of dust, literally, like a new computer, you can’t tell that it’s renewed/upgraded.Even though it’s smaller everything is easy to see and get to so if you need or want to do anything inside it’s awesome. You can see everything and get to it with ease. You don’t have to be a contortionist or have tiny hands and fingers. The drives and optical reader (DVD) are contained within a rack that you just pivot upward to release and you have full easy access to them. Additional expansion slots to add what you like. If you should want to increase RAM from 16 to 32 GB there is nothing around them so removing and replacing them in the slots would be effortless. I was surprised how cool this computer runs even when using multiple high resource software at the same time with no lag.As for the USB Keyboard and Mouse, USB WiFi Adapter. These are low cost and just so you have something. As low cost as keyboard and mouse are I really like them. If you use something else don’t throw them out as others have said. Save them as an emergency back up or give them to someone. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse but still using the ones that came with this computer. USB WiFi Adapter isn’t the best it’s not real fast and not great for long-distance so I did buy a better one at the same time. There are a lot of cheap USB WiFi Adapters that stop working after 2-3 months but here is a low-cost $17 good one I use so can avoid the hassle.Just search amazon for -TP-Link AC600 USB WiFi Adapter for PC (Archer T2U Plus)- Wireless Network Adapter for Desktop with 2.4GHz, 5GHz High Gain Dual Band 5dBi Antenna, Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS 10.9-10.14It increased my transfer speed from 300 Mbps or less and 3 bars signal strength to a transfer speed of 433 to 490 Mbps and 5 bars signal strength.All you have to do is connect a monitor, the keyboard, mouse, and USB wifi adapter and power up. You do need to set up you user account like any new computer. This is Microsoft so it wants you to use a Microsoft account to have a better “online experience”. But all you need to do is enter your login for a Microsoft email account or create one during set up. That step requires connecting to the internet and entering the password. Or you can create an offline user account like the old days. The rest of the setup questions are about your preferences and you’re ready to go.Windows 10 Pro works perfectly. My daughter got one of these a while ago and wouldn’t stop praising it so I got one. She gave me a heads up about the USB WiFi Adapter solution too. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

I bought this system as an inexpensive, upgradable, all-around PC. It’s been very solid with the exception of one problem, but the seller was right on it and solved the issue promptly and with zero hassle.I should clarify that I’m fussy about computers and my needs are very specific. What I want is a reliable, upgradable, standard computer that gets the job done, with no complications. This does the job.The system itself comes a not-cutting-edge but perfectly capable and speedy processor, a solid SSD, a spacious hard drive, and an optical drive for those legacy applications. The two DisplayPort video outs will handle monitors equipped with DisplayPort, or as in my case, monitors with HDMI with the addition of a simple and inexpensive cable. There are 10 USB ports, of which 4 are the blue SuperSpeed – 2 each on the front and back. The drives are easily mounted and swapped out being on a rack, and access to the case is by a simple, no-tools-required latch. The system came with 2x 8GB dimms, leaving 2 slots for upgrade, which I did. It came configured to boot and use the OS (Windows 10) from the SSD, which is faster than having it on the HDD.I was initially surprised that the wifi is a tiny USB stick rather than an internal card – I made sure to put it in one of the blue, SuperSpeed ports. It only picked up the 2G side of my wifi network rather than the 5G – but all it said in the product description was “WIFI” so I’m okay with that. I was prepared with a wifi card with 5G and antennas, but it honestly hasn’t been necessary. I have no idea how that tiny little stick does it, but is works better than the card did, antennas and all. The 2G connection is more stable at this range from the router, and it’s been more than fast enough with no dropouts. Yeah, it takes up a port but there are plenty. I’m impressed.Most appreciated of all, was that it came with Windows 10, and that’s it – as in no, none, zero stupid, annoying adware, bloatware, manufacturer crapware, or worst of all “trial” security software always flashing urgent “buy this or else” notifications, that slow down the system so badly that a real virus would be preferable. Just bone-standard, pristine Windows 10! Thank you for keeping it simple! What a savings of both time and annoyance!If these are the advantages of a “renewed” system vs. a new one, I’ll take the renewed, thanks.I did have one issue. The optical drive did not work. I tried everything but it would only spin up, never read discs. I got on Amazon’s “Problem with…” system and had a chat reply in minutes, offering a replacement external at no charge. I asked for an internal instead, and they sent me an internal instead. I really appreciated that the seller took the risk – it would be understandable that a consumer might not install properly, leaving the seller with another issue – but they took me at my word that I could install it, and showed up the next day. It swapped out easily; it’s in there now and working fine. Thanks again!All in all I highly recommend this product and seller for anyone in need of a good solid PC for a good price.

Item as described. Arrived in good time. I have been using item for a few months now. It does everything I try to do with it. Loads faster than my newer laptop. I used speakers, wireless mouse dual monitors, PC speakers, USB headset all without issues. The only thing that concerns me is sometimes when I start it, a black screen with white writing pops up with a beep and says an IDE device has failed and seems it doesnr recognize my hard drive. Then I restart it using the power button and it’s fine. Would buy again, but would feel better to solve what’s up with the error.Because of that issue, I am not sure I would reccomend the item though.
