Review on 🖥️ HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Tiny Micro Tower PC: Intel Core i5-4590T, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, WiFi, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed) - Best Price and Quality by Matt Venable

## Updated on 08/10/2020 ## It's been about 3 months, no major problems yet. I've included a few front and back photos for those who want to see the size and placement of the ports. I'm running a Linux flavor on it, I use about 8-12 hours a day so it's not running 24/7, it's closing. From what I've read, turning the computer on and off is usually harder on a PC, so it's holding up pretty well so far. I occasionally boot into the Windows 10 partition for updates, everything works there, USB etc. My only complaint is the fan, it's pretty low, around 35dB for a normal workload, measured from a phone that's around 5 inches seated away on a table with a microphone pointed at it. About 40 dB sitting directly on the computer and about 45 dB with the microphone pressed against the front panel. It has this random slow noise, if your room is very quiet it may or may not bother you, I might try to replace it. It's pretty hard to film so it's pretty low but just to know if your room is quiet. ## Original review as of 07/17/20 This is for a day so I can't comment on durability or support yet. This is a Mini PC as shown in the picture, not a small form factor case as reported by some users in other listings. I've attached some screenshots with performance metrics and specifications. I have a 65W CPU instead of the advertised 35W CPU, but as far as I can tell there is no performance difference. Loads fairly quickly, about 4 seconds on Windows. Windows 10 was a professional edition and could be installed, with around 192GB of free space on the SSD. According to CrystalDiskInfo, the SSD is in good condition. Windows updates took about 15-30 minutes (including reboots) on a 15Mbps connection, so there weren't many of them. I took a screenshot of the CPU HWMonitor so you can see the maximum CPU temperature (about 74°C) after the CPU performance test. The fan is fairly quiet with no load ie only when surfing the web, although you can hear it a little if your room is very quiet, it's not very loud under full load, my Y740 laptop is much louder. The temperature of the PSU is around 100-105°F during normal use, the case temperature was around 101°F at the right rear (guess where the CPU is) or around 90°F during normal use and around 80- 85°F in other areas. The CPU itself has a normal load of around 45-50C (playing YT videos in Chrome). Both ethernet and wifi work, wifi is a usb adapter so it needs one slot (6 total) and another slot for a bluetooth adapter. There is an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter as mentioned below as it comes with 2 DisplayPort and 1 VGA. You have to use the VGA port to get into the BIOS (F10) as it doesn't recognize DP from the BIOS, only on Windows/Linux as far as I can tell. It's set by default to boot from USB, so I was able to test a Linux distro of it without changing settings in the BIOS, although it's fairly customizable, which is nice. 2560 x 1440 resolution on Windows. I didn't notice any major delays when browsing the web. It has a built-in speaker, although it's pretty low profile (as expected). Seems like the DP has Sound (Intel C49RG9x, screenshot attached, not checked), regular RealTek sound card, 1 mic port and 1 headset port on front, 1 audio out on rear, regular 3.5mm audio ports. Plugging in the headphones all the way in makes the sound more muffled, but unplugging it fixes it a bit, the only bad thing I've seen. The sound is decent, nothing special as you'd expect from RealTek these days.
