HP ProDesk 400 G6 Pentium Gold G5420 3.8 GHz 4 GB DDR4 512 GB HDD Windows 10 Pro Desktop

Compact desktop for everyday tasks

The HP ProDesk 400 G6 is a small-form-factor desktop built around an Intel Pentium Gold G5420 processor running at 3.8 GHz with two cores. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4-2666 memory and a 512 GB hard drive. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 610 handles display output. Windows 10 Pro comes pre-installed. An 180 W internal power supply powers the system. Wireless connectivity uses Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 9560 with Bluetooth. A DVD writer is included.

Suits light office and study use.

This configuration suits students and home-office users who run web browsers, email, document editing and video playback one task at a time. The 4 GB memory limit and mechanical hard drive make it unsuitable for buyers who want snappy application switching, large media libraries or modern gaming. Users needing multiple displays or discrete graphics should look at something else.

512 GB hard drive and 4 GB RAM define the headroom

The 512 GB hard drive comfortably holds the operating system, office suites and several years of documents and photos. It runs out when storing large video collections or installing many modern games. The 4 GB DDR4 memory handles a single browser session with a handful of tabs and background updates. It runs out when opening several heavy applications at once or keeping many browser tabs active.
