HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini - 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9500T 6-Core up to 3.70 GHz, 16GB DDR4 Memory, 256GB NVMe SSD, WiFi-6, Bluetooth 5.0, Intel UHD Graphics 630, windows 11 Pro (Renewed)

Excellent for the price. The EliteDesk 800 G5 was clean, no fingerprints, dust, or dents. There was an actual Intel WiFi and Bluetooth card installed with the antenna connected properly. The SSD was Samsung, although a bit well used. Even the fans were clean and the keyboard and mouse were decent quality. The only very minor complaint is there was no original HP RAM. It had one Kingston module and one from Ramaxel, so not matched modules. Everything is present and works though, which is well above average for a refurb at this price. I've purchased at least ten refurb mini computers over the past five years. This is the first one I've received that didn't have any case damage or missing components. At six cores and with good power management, it's a perfect media center PC, and can be used as a primary desktop if you don't plan to do any gaming or 3D modeling work. I've even got one setup for my wife with additional RAM and a larger SSD for music production and photo editing.

Overall I'm happy with this. My definition of "renewed" for a computer means it's been opened up, inspected, dust and dirt removed, cleaned, tested. I had reason to open this and I doubt it was opened. It still had a lot of dust in the fan. It works though. It's very quiet until you really make it work. Bigger issue, after the installed Windows 10 was activated, it posted MANY warnings about viruses on the machine. Glad I hadn't installed the included wifi adapter with which Windows could have connected to my home network and possibly wreaked havoc. I ended up booting this with a Linux flash drive. Machine runs well. It's fast enough to play 4K 60fps video with just a very minor amount of stutter. I haven't bothered running an anti-virus on the installed M.2 drive yet. I don't use Windows much so I don't really need it. I'll get to it eventually though. The 3mm headphone port on the front is flaky. I have to pull out and push in the plug every time I boot it. Fan did start winding up when playing the 4K 60fps videos. Fan doesn't get annoying when it's on. I really like the compact size. For the money it's just about an unbeatable deal. I will put a one terabyte drive in this once I've run it a while and have tested it thoroughly. (ETA: 5/2/2024) Reinstalled the M.2 drive that came with this. Neither Microsoft Defender nor Avast anti-virus could remove whatever was on it. It was almost like any ability of these two programs to do anything was stopped. I pulled the drive and snapped in. No one needs that kind of issues. Scary stuff.

Thank you

Nice unit, looks new, seems to work fine. Just 1 star because it did not include Bluetooth capabilities even though it was listed as included in the listing. Fortunately an inexpensive BT adapter solved that issue.

I will be buying more. They are excellent for the purpose I am buying them for. They are as advertised and work flawlessly so far.

There is no HDMI port on the computer. I have nothing to hook it up to my new monitor. I am completely frustrated and upset because I have been TRICKED into buying something that is useless in the 21st-century. Who is still using parallel pin cables for their video? And neither the monitor nor the computer came with such cable anyway. I thought I was getting HDMI for the video hook up but it was a DisplayPort. They look very similar but are not the same. It turns out there is an adapter you can get, but in any case, the DisplayPort in the picture is INCORRECT. You’re going to get a parallel-pin-type of port for your video. And as an extra bonus, they surprise you with a $95 restocking fee. It does not say THAT on the page either. “Free returns” only means they pay the shipping, in case you didn’t know. If you have to return it, call Amazon; don’t use the app.

There is always the uncertainty of reassembled or refurbished products, due to their components and aesthetic conditions. This time everything came out perfect, condition and operation as indicated. It brought a WIFI 6 dungle with good range and speed, but I prefer the internal PCI cards, fortunately, it has the antennas and I can upgrade later. It also has the bay for a 3.5" SATA SSD to upgrade later. This equipment is compatible with making a hackintosh which I will try when the NVMe capacity increases. In conclusion it was worth the risk, you have to be careful with the information on the video ports, they do not correspond to the photos and description. This equipment natively comes with DP ports but the HDMI and VGA ports at random. I suggest being more clear and honest in this feature, I had You have to buy a DP to HDMI adapter. If your monitor has and you use DP, there is no need to worry. Siempre existe la incertidumbre de los productos reensamblados o refurbished, por sus componentes y condiciones esteticas. Esta vez todos salio perfecto, condiciones, estado y funcionamiento segun lo indicado. Trajo un dungle WIFI 6 con buen alcance y velocidad, pero prefiero las tarjetas internas PCI, por fortuna, tiena las antenas y podre hacer el upgrade mas tarde. Tambien tiene la bahia para un SSD sata 3.5" para actualizarlo luego. Este equipo es compatble para hacer un hackintosh lo cual probare cuando aumente la capacidad NVMe. En conclusion valio la pena el riesgo, hay que tener cuidado con la informacion de los puertos de video, no se corresponden con las fotos y descripcion. Este equipo trae de forma nativa puertos DP pero los puertos HDMI y VGA al azar. Sugiero ser mas claros y honestos en esta caracteristica, tuve que comprar un adaptador DP a HDMI. Si tu monitor tiene y usas DP no hay de que preocuparse.

Muy buen producto y me vino protegido al máximo, lo agradezco.
