Manufacturer Description
Our Specialist view of the HP ProDesk 600 G4 SFF PC
The Spec:
The refurbished HP ProDesk 600 G4 Small Form Factor PC has the following spec: a compact case, or SFF chassis, weighing just over 4 kilos has an Intel Core i5 6 core 8th generation processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, a 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD), memory card reader and Windows 10 Professional preinstalled for more functionality for professionals and businesses. Plenty of connectivity options including USB 3.1, USB 2.0, USB Type C, DisplayPort, and Gigabit Ethernet. Trust Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) is also present so the end user can upgrade to Windows 11.
The Good Bits:
A modern looking and sleek PC case packed full of more up to date hardware, a marriage made in hardware heaven. Starting with the chassis itself, because of its design it would fit in perfectly in an office or the home. The HP 600 G4 is another addition to the expanding range of more up to date PC’s stock because of the 6 core 8th generation i5 processor and DDR4 RAM, which offers faster performance when compared to older DDR3 RAM. What you’ll also find is TPM 2.0 which is essential along with the 8th generation processor because it enables this PC to support Windows 11, which can also be downloaded by the end user for free currently.
The Not So Good Bits:
The downside to have more updated spec such is that they are more expensive to buy so any future upgrades will hit the pocket harder than it would do if this PC has DDR3 RAM or a standard 2.5” or mechanical hard drive. The lack of an optical drive with a blanking plate covering the slot on the front of the computer is a bit of a surprise but it's possible to buy a drive or use an external USB drive. On the subject of legacy tech, there is no VGA port on this HP 600, which can cause compatibility issues with other legacy tech.
The Design:
Modern sleek and space saving design, a plethora of ports that are also up to date, the HP 600 G4 is almost the complete package. We really like the number and variation of connectivity ports you get with this PC, its clear the end user has been carefully considered.
Suitability:
We decided quite early on that this HP would look great in the office, and not just because of its modern design, it won’t take up loads of room on a desk or dominate a room.
