Key Benefits

• Intel Core i5-4570 processor — A full quad-core desktop chip at 3.20 GHz base and 3.60 GHz turbo. Unlike the low-voltage parts fitted to laptops, this is a 84W desktop processor with genuine sustained performance.
• 8GB RAM — Comfortable for everyday office work with several applications open, and expandable via the board's four DIMM slots if more is needed later.
• 250GB SSD — Solid-state storage rather than a mechanical drive, which is the single biggest factor in how quick a machine of this age feels day to day.
• Small-form-factor chassis — Roughly a third the volume of a full tower. Sits neatly under a monitor or beside it, and can be stood vertically to save desk space.
• DVD-RW optical drive — Increasingly rare on modern hardware, and still needed for archived media, older software installs and disc-based records.
• No operating system installed — A clean slate for your own Windows or Linux build, with no pre-loaded software to remove.

Performance in Use

The EliteDesk 800 G1 was HP's business-grade desktop line, built for corporate fleets rather than the consumer shelf, and the difference shows in the components and the serviceability. The Core i5-4570 is a genuine quad-core desktop processor — four physical cores at 3.20 GHz, with turbo to 3.60 GHz. For office applications, accounting packages, point-of-sale systems and general administrative work, that remains ample.

Pairing it with a 250GB SSD is what makes the machine worth deploying today. A desktop of this generation running a mechanical hard drive feels sluggish regardless of processor; with solid-state storage the same hardware boots in seconds and stays responsive. It is a practical, low-cost workstation for a reception desk, a back-office role, a workshop machine, or any position where reliability matters more than raw speed.

The small-form-factor chassis is a deliberate advantage in constrained spaces. It fits where a tower will not, runs quietly, and HP designed it for tool-less servicing — the side panel releases by hand, and drives and memory are reachable without dismantling the machine. Note that the SFF format takes low-profile expansion cards only, and this generation predates the requirements for Windows 11, so plan on Windows 10 or Linux.

FAQ

Does it come with Windows?

No. This unit ships with no operating system installed. Windows 10 or a Linux distribution can be installed. This generation of hardware does not meet Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11.

Does it include a monitor, keyboard or mouse?

No — the desktop unit and power cable are supplied. Peripherals are sold separately, and we usually have refurbished monitors and accessories in stock.

Can I add a graphics card?

Only a low-profile card will fit the SFF chassis, and the power supply is sized for business use rather than high-draw cards. For anything beyond basic display output, a tower chassis is the better starting point.

Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?

Yes. The board has four DIMM slots and the chassis is designed for tool-less access, so memory and drives are straightforward to add or replace.

How many displays can it drive?

The integrated Intel HD 4600 graphics support dual displays through the onboard DisplayPort and VGA outputs, which suits most office setups.

What shipping options are available?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
