HP 800 G2 Tower Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-6500, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, Windows 11 Pro

Form-factor and role

The HP 800 G2 is a tower desktop built around a 6th-generation Intel Core i5-6500 running up to 3.60 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD paired with a 1 TB hard drive give quick boot times and ample bulk storage. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles standard display output through two DisplayPort connectors. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Target users and limits

Suits office workers, students and home users who need a ready-to-run Windows PC for documents, web browsing and video calls. The included wireless keyboard and mouse mean no extra purchases to start working. Buyers who need discrete graphics for modern gaming, 3D rendering or GPU-accelerated workloads should look elsewhere. The chassis also limits future expansion to low-profile cards and the available drive bays.

Deciding specification

The quad-core i5-6500 with Intel HD 530 graphics defines what this system can do. It delivers enough throughput for everyday productivity and multi-monitor desk setups, but it lacks the compute headroom for intensive creative or gaming tasks. If the workload stays within general office and media use, the processor and integrated graphics combination is the right fit.
