HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF desktop PC Core i5 4570 3.2GHz 16GB DDR3 256GB SSD GT 1030 2GB Win 10 Pro

Compact business desktop

The HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF is a small form factor desktop computer built around an Intel Core i5 4570 processor running at 3.2 GHz up to 3.60 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory, a 256 GB SSD and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card with 2 GB of video memory. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed and a wired keyboard and mouse combo are included.

Office and light creative users

This system suits buyers who need a space-saving PC for general office work, web browsing and multi-monitor productivity using the HDMI and DVI outputs on the GT 1030. It is not for buyers who want more storage than the single 256 GB SSD provides, nor for builders who need a second graphics card or additional drive bays that the slim chassis cannot accommodate.

Straightforward setup with limited expansion

Installation is simple: connect power, a display via HDMI or DVI, and the included peripherals, then follow the Windows 10 Pro first-run prompts. The toolless chassis allows easy access to the four DDR3 memory slots, which support up to 32 GB total at 1600 MHz. What usually goes wrong is forgetting that the small form factor restricts graphics card length and power, so the pre-installed GT 1030 cannot be swapped for a larger model.
