HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Tower, Intel Core i7-4770 3.4Ghz, 2TB HDD, 16GB DDR3 Ram, DVD-ROM, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Renewed)

I ordered the I7 with 16 meg Ram and the 2TB Hard Drive about a week and a half ago. As expected (Prime), it arrived on time. Computer was packed in a box with no wrapping on the PC itself. Closed cell foam corners were used to protect it. I wasnt really concerned about the packing because there isnt anything that wasnt able to withstand some jostling about during shipping. PC was in excellent shape. The problem was that it wasnt the PC I ordered! It was an I5 computer. I called IT supply guy immediately. The manager I spoke with assured me it was the right computer!? As I have over forty years of experience in computers and electronics I assured him it was not the right computer. I opened the case to examine it. It only had a 1TB hard drive, the one that cam e with the I5. Manager told me they mustve installed the wrong drive, but insisted it was the right PC. So...I had to boot up the PC so I could prove that it wasnt the right one. After talking to a second manager they agreed to pay to ship the one I received and send me the correct one. I had no idea just how long this process would ultimately take. But, I wanted the PC and capitulated. The whole replacement process took just under a week! I received the correct PC in the exact same packing method. It too was unharmed. The PC came with a wired keyboard, mouse and WIFI dongle. I didnt need any of these, but its nice that it came with them. I booted the PC and initialized Windows with no problems. PC is 100% functional. If youre reading this and contemplating buying a refurbished consider the following: --Its a refurb. This means that in order for it to be a certified refurb it goes through more testing than what a new PC is subjected to. --You may run into some quirky issues. These computers are assembled by techs at a bench versus an assembly line. If you decide to deal with these issues you are compensated by paying a lot less for a PC. I have a PC that is powerful enough to run all the Media software I bought it for. But I also have a PC that I can do add-ons and upgrades to and create an even more powerful machine at far less than what I would pay for new. If you are looking for a PC that has everything installed and ready to go then maybe this type of purchase isnt for you. However, if youre looking to purchase a computer that has a nice large case (important for upgrading), a powerful motherboard, great RAM and Hard Drive space at a huge savings in cost...then this is the way to go!

Up front confession first..Ive been building my own PCs for about 20 years or so. That said, I bought this because I didnt want to start from scratch and this offered some good parts for the price. Amazon sells this for $100 less than does a major online tech store. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. I bought the add-on 3-year warrantee since it was only $10.50. It has room and plugs for 3 more hard drives. I added three SSDs to the one drive already there. I didnt feel the need to add a vid card since the onboard Intel chip seems to be doing great and this is not a gaming machine. This would do great as a stand-alone machine. I just like to tinker. The one downside, as others have noted, is the proprietary power supply. But thats what the extra warrantee is for.

I was searching for the best-of technology from a few years ago to save on cost. The plan is to use this for video editing. I compared the CPU to the PassMark ratings, it was rated very high, checked the amount of memory, etc. It also has a 2T HD drive which is old (2010), but it clearly works OK. I installed a 1T SSD drive as the main drive and now the machine blazes. In terms of condition and so forth, the outside case was just fine, internally, it was clean -- no doubt part of the refurb process... So, in my opinion, given the new SSD drive and the condition of the rest of the machine, I expect to get several years of service from this machine.. One other thing, it was made by HP for the business environment, as such, the case, the internals and so forth are sturdier than some of the stuff they are making now... I highly recommend this company.

It is so good, after I bought one, I bought another one. The PC is fast and has plenty room for upgrade. I bought a DP-to-HDMI adapter ($6.99 at Amazon) and Connected it to my HDMI TV. I replaced one 4gb ram with an 8gb one taken from a dead PC. Now I have 20gb memory. I added 2 hard drives (2 tb and 3 tb, respectively). Now I have 7 tb storage. Very satisfied with the result.

Excellent price for refurb, system delivered on time and pretty much as described. Instead of i7-4770, it came with the i7-4790, instead of a 2TB it came with a 3TB and then the DVD-ROM was a RW. The downside, the DVD would power up but wasnt recognized by the system. No response from vendor support, but easily fixed with a cable swap. The 3TB was MBR formatted so only saw about 740MB. Needed to convert to GPT to get access to whole 3TB. Add 500GB SSD, clone OS over, so low risk of losing anything in the repartioning.

My Wife and I just bought this Computer and were a little nervous to order the computer through amazon but seeing as how cheap it was we had to try it out. We got the package 2 days later and when I opened the box i noticed that they took there time to carefully package the computer really well on the inside not only with packing Styrofoam but also a good amount of bubble wrap around the computer itself making sure that the tape on the bubble wrap did not get on the case of the tower. I set up the computer immediately and and everything was as described. We love this computer we are impressed by the speed of the computer. We would definitely recommend that if you are in the market for a nice refurbished computer that you would should go with this one. Plenty of room for Upgrades down the road.

Very nice computer for the price. No problem setting up and registering the windows 10 pro. There was a keyboard but no mouse included which wasnt a problem for me as didnt intend to use either a generic keyboard or mouse. Should be aware that this was a business computer used in a commercial environment. I ran tests on the memory and 2 TB disk drive, both where good but the disk drive had 5+ years of almost 24 hrs a day run time with power cycles only every few weeks. Looking at failure rates for similar drives on line suggest that this should still be reliable for several more years. However I made a system image and backup just in case immediately after setting up the new windows 10 software. This has a Q87 intel business chipset not the Z87 series most gamers are familiar with doesnt support over clocking but what the heck this is a fast enough machine as it is. Compare this to a new HP i7-7700 2.9 GB/s desktop with 8GB memory at BB for $800 and you get a slower 9266 vs 9780 CPU Mark computer, half the memory, without the pro version of windows 10 and the BB one has only a 180W power supply compared to this ones 320 W active PFC . A small negative the optical CD is a slim read only mounted vertically, you read your old CDs but not burn any new ones. Should mention that HP website supports this with excellent manuals, bios updates and community support for questions. For the price a 5 Star!

I had it all installed, started the day to day, and had nothing but problems. The original Windows 10 operation system was incorrecly installed and now, I have paid double for my Teech guy to work on it over and over. At first, we thought it might be my Outlook file that caused problems. Then my Office 365 kept kicking me out. I was ver upset when I couldnt log intp my Word or Excel programs. As it turns out, Office ran a detection program on it and found that it had a "dirty" Windows 10 installation and my operating system was bad. There were over 20 error codes. Now, to fix it, I need to pay someone to take all my Data and programs out, re-install Windows 10, and then put it all back, which costs more than the computer did. I was told it could take up to 48 hours to fix. Im tossing this one out, and headed to Best Buy to get a new computer that has it done right.

I ordered this on 3-15-2018 I got on 3-16-2018! I have never ordered something off of Amazon and got it the next day! My head started spinning! I was beyond excited. Set up for the pc was easy. So far works great! I needed this for projects that Im working on and so far programs I have installed run amazingly! Will definitely order from these guys again. The only thing I am concerned about is the warranty that I purchased with it. I didnt see an paper work stating that the PC was under this warranty. But so far im beyond happy with this PC.
