HP ProDesk 400 G1 SFF Desktop 250GB 8GB Windows 10 Pro

Compact Business Desktop

The HP ProDesk 400 G1 is a small-form-factor desktop built for everyday computing. It ships with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed and includes an Intel Dual Core Celeron processor at 2.80 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 drives VGA and DVI outputs for basic display needs. Connectivity covers USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, with Wi-Fi readiness noted.

Suited For Light Tasks; Not For Heavy Workloads

This system suits students, home-office users and offices that need a compact PC for web browsing, document editing and email. Buyers who require a dedicated graphics card for gaming, video editing or 3D rendering should look elsewhere. The 250 GB mechanical drive limits space for large media libraries, and the maximum RAM capacity of 16 GB restricts memory-intensive applications. The small-form-factor chassis also prevents installation of full-height expansion cards.

Expansion Limited To 16 GB RAM

The motherboard supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory, which is the key constraint when planning future upgrades. With 8 GB installed from new, only one additional module can be added to reach the ceiling. This ceiling determines whether the desktop can handle heavier multitasking or must stay in its intended light-productivity role.
