With its very small form factor, one might expect the HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Small Form Factor PC to be an under-powered basic office desktop computer. In fact, this couldn't be farther from the truth. HP has created a powerhouse desktop computer that can fit in even the smallest spaces, and its high performance and upgrade options are impressive.
The basis of the EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF desktop computer is Intel Pentium G3220 3.0 GHz processor, delivering more power than the average home or office machine. It features 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed standard and can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 GB if required. Since the PC includes the 64-bit edition of Windows 7 Professional, so it utilizes a large amount of RAM for maximum performance. The pre-installation of the Professional edition of Windows 7 practically justifies the computer's price, as purchasing the operating system on its own is a very expensive.
500 GB SATA hard drive with 7200 rpm speed is included, as well as DVD Super Multi burner for data backups and movies. It comes with HP Client Security tool which now includes HP Trust Circles that protects data and increases security to make sure only approved contacts can access the files. Despite the small form factor of the case, there are still extra slots for upgrades, such as an extra hard drive. The machine's array of ports, including 6xUSB 2.0, 4xUSB 3.0 and eSATA ports for adding external peripherals and other upgrades are also impressive. This makes its storage capacity potential nearly limitless. Intel Clear Video HD technology makes it perfect machine for watching high resolution videos. It operates at 100-240 Volts input supply and consumes 135 W/h.
Its small form factor case measures just 66mm by 251mm by 254mm, so it's ultra-compact. The machine can even be placed on its side to occupy less space, although using the optical disc drive is just a bit more challenging in this configuration.
Overall, the HP EliteDesk 800 G1 combines the look of a compact desktop with the power of a high-end desktop computer, and does it all at a very low price. Office users who need a high performance machine with the lowest price should be happy with its price and performance. The pre-installation of Windows 7 Professional in the box makes it an even better value.
