HP EliteDesk 800 G3 i5-6500 16 GB DDR4 512 GB SSD

This compact desktop PC is built around an Intel Core i5-6500 processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB solid-state drive. It ships with Windows 10 Pro installed and includes a wireless keyboard, mouse, USB Wi-Fi adapter and webcam. Six USB 3.0 ports provide connectivity for peripherals. The micro form factor suits home offices, students and general business tasks.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers needing a ready-to-use small-footprint PC for web browsing, document work, video streaming and light multitasking will find this system adequate. The package includes input devices and wireless networking so no extra accessories are required. Users who require discrete graphics for gaming, CAD or video editing should look elsewhere. Anyone needing more internal storage bays or expansion slots than a micro chassis provides should consider a larger form factor.

Deciding specification: 512 GB SSD capacity

The 512 GB solid-state drive determines how many applications and files can be stored locally without external drives. With 16 GB of DDR4 memory the system handles typical office workloads smoothly. If your workflow demands several large media libraries or virtual machines you will need additional storage. Verify that the single drive capacity meets your long-term requirements before purchasing.
