HP NE1-22255 EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF business desktop i5-8500 3.0GHz 16GB 500GB NVMe

Compact business desktop for office teams

The HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF packs an Intel Core i5-8500 six-core processor at 3.00GHz, 16GB DDR4 memory and a 500GB NVMe drive into a small-form-factor chassis. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed, and a DVD±RW drive is included for legacy media. Front and rear ports include USB 2.0 Type-A with PowerShare, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, dual DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI, RJ-45 and audio jacks.

Upgrade from older SFF workstations

Replacing a dual-core or fourth-generation system yields six cores, 9MB L3 cache and NVMe boot speeds that cut application launch times. The jump is worth it when daily workloads involve multitasking across browser tabs, Office suites and line-of-business apps that benefit from the extra threads. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles dual-monitor setups over DisplayPort and HDMI without a discrete card.

Limits of the integrated graphics and form factor

Intel UHD Graphics 630 drives two displays at typical office resolutions but is not suited for 3D rendering, CAD or modern gaming workloads. The slim chassis restricts internal expansion to low-profile cards and the proprietary power supply limits total board power. Buyers who need more storage bays, a full-height GPU or higher sustained CPU clocks should consider a tower workstation instead.
