HP EliteDesk 800 G5 i5-9500 8 GB 256 GB NVMe desktop PC

HP EliteDesk 800 G5 compact desktop

This HP EliteDesk 800 G5 is a new compact desktop built around a 9th Generation Intel Core i5-9500 processor with six cores, a 3 GHz base frequency and up to 4.4 GHz boost. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-2666 memory, a 256 GB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive and Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, making it suitable for home-office tasks, student work and general business applications.

Installation notes

The unit arrives as a complete system with an internal 250 W power supply and no optical drive, so adding internal storage requires an available M.2 slot and a compatible NVMe drive. Memory upgrades are limited to DDR4-2666 modules; using a different DDR generation will prevent the system from booting. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles video output, so a discrete graphics card is not required for typical office use.

Pre-purchase checks

Verify that your monitor provides a video input compatible with the system's display outputs, as no monitor is included. Ensure the 250 W internal power supply meets the needs of any additional components you plan to install, since the chassis and power budget limit expansion options. Confirm that the single 256 GB NVMe drive provides enough capacity for your workload, or budget for a secondary drive if more space is needed.
