Review on 💻 Renewed HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF Desktop with Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro by Jack Duncan

I was looking for something to replace my outdated Dell with an Intel 3000 series chipset. I've already upgraded the RAM and installed an SSD but I needed more processing power to run my security camera and plex server. I started looking at i5 and i7 chipsets. Looking at this computer, it has a decent range of features at a very reasonable price. So reasonable that my local PC repair shop is selling the same machine and specs for $100 more. I placed the order on Wednesday and it arrived on Thursday well packaged with power cord, mouse and keyboard. The memory was 4GB x4 of which 2 were Samsung, 2 were some cheaper unknown brands. I replaced Kingston RAM from my previous machine. SSD is another unknown brand but I had no intention of using it. I pulled my SSD and 1TB HDD from the first machine and installed them. The mobo has 3 connectors and a couple of extra power connectors. DVD is ROM only (thin) and I'll probably switch to Blu-ray burning at some point. There's no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on the phone, but I still use Ethernet. The computer started immediately (with my hard drive) with no problems with my 2 monitors, both via DisplayPort. Physically the computer looks good, it has a few scratches, but it's good. But beware, this is not a tower. It is designed as a desktop device. I will update it if necessary. I also bought SquareTrade's 4-year warranty. So far very satisfied.
