HP 600 G4 SFF Desktop PC

The HP 600 G4 is a small-form-factor desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5-8500 processor with six cores running up to 4.10 GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 drives up to two DisplayPort monitors. The chassis includes six USB 3.1 ports and a wired network jack.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This system suits office workers, students and home users who need a compact PC for web browsing, document editing and video calls. The integrated graphics and modest 256GB NVMe drive make it unsuitable for buyers who want more storage or who need a dedicated graphics card for 3D rendering or modern gaming. The small-form-factor case also limits internal expansion, so builders who need additional drive bays or full-height add-in cards should look elsewhere.

The deciding specification: 256GB NVMe storage

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the 256GB NVMe solid-state drive. It provides fast boot and application launch times, but the capacity is limited to the operating system, essential programs and a small working set of files. Users with large media libraries, extensive project archives or multiple virtual machines will run out of space quickly and should consider a model with a larger or secondary drive.
