HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop PC (Intel i5-6500)

This refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Small Form Factor desktop is built for office and everyday work: it boots fast, runs Office and browser-based software without lag, and does not take up half the desk. HP designed the EliteDesk 800 series for large corporate fleets, and many of these machines ran daily in banks, law firms and government offices before being retired on a standard lease-refresh cycle rather than because they wore out. It suits small businesses, home offices and students who want business-grade hardware at a lower price than new.

Who it's for

• Small business owners kitting out a team with dependable office PCs
• Remote workers setting up a home office for Outlook, Excel, Teams or Zoom and a browser
• Students who need something reliable for coursework and research
• Anyone replacing an aging PC that has become frustratingly slow

Key features

• Intel Core i5-6500 processor: a 4-core, 4-thread chip at a 3.2GHz base clock with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz and 6MB of cache, comfortable with Windows, Office, browsers with dozens of tabs, video calls and everyday business software.
• 16GB DDR4 memory: double what most office PCs ship with, so you can multitask across Outlook, Excel, Teams or Zoom and a browser without the slowdowns of 8GB machines.
• 256GB M.2 SSD boot drive: Windows starts in seconds and applications open near-instantly, a big step up from the mechanical hard drives most PCs of this age shipped with.
• 1TB secondary HDD: a full terabyte for documents, client files, project archives, photos and backups, keeping the SSD free for the operating system and active programs.
• Intel HD Graphics 530 (integrated): no discrete graphics card is fitted, and none is needed for driving one or two monitors for productivity, web and video playback while keeping power draw, heat and noise low.
• HP Small Form Factor chassis: a compact, tool-free case that fits on a desk, under a monitor or wall-mounted, built to enterprise durability standards for 24/7 office duty.
• Windows 10 Pro (genuine license): arrives licensed and ready to work, with Pro features such as domain join and BitLocker support for business environments.

Specifications

Good to know

• Not a gaming PC: there is no discrete graphics card, and the Intel HD Graphics 530 is designed for productivity, not 3D performance. It handles word processing, spreadsheets, accounting software, email, video conferencing, web browsing, light photo editing and general multitasking.
• Refurbished process: the unit has been pulled from service, professionally cleaned, tested component by component and verified fully functional before listing. Each one goes through a full diagnostic and stress test covering the CPU, memory, storage and power supply, and components that fail are repaired or replaced, never sold as-is.
• Cosmetics: some light cosmetic wear consistent with prior office use may be present on the case, but nothing that affects performance.
• Storage setup: a fast SSD for the operating system plus a spacious HDD for files, a configuration you would normally have to build yourself on a new PC.

Choose this EliteDesk if you want a quiet, compact office machine with 16GB of RAM and both an SSD and a 1TB drive. Pick a model with a discrete GPU instead if you need to game or do 3D work.
