Let me start by saying this HP EliteOne 800 G2 is a sleek all-in-one that looks professional in any office setting. The 23" FHD display is crisp and spacious - perfect for multitasking between patient records (for medical offices) or spreadsheets.
The Intel Core i5 processor paired with 16GB RAM handles everyday tasks smoothly. I've had Photoshop, Chrome with 15+ tabs, and Spotify running simultaneously without major lag. The SSD ensures quick boot times (under 20 seconds in my tests).
Now the not-so-great parts: The WiFi issues mentioned in reviews are REAL. I experienced random disconnections until I caved and bought a USB WiFi adapter. For a "renewed" product, basic functionality like this shouldn't be problematic.
The refurbished quality seems hit-or-miss. My unit arrived in pristine condition, but I've heard horror stories about failing hard drives (like one reviewer's drive died within days). Pro tip: Immediately back up your data and consider replacing the SSD if you get a suspicious warning.
Missing HDMI ports are frustrating in 2023 when we all need multiple display options. And yes - the included wireless mouse is often defective based on multiple reports (mine worked but had terrible lag).
Final verdict? At this price point for a renewed PC, it's decent for light office work if you get a good unit. But be prepared to potentially spend extra on repairs or accessories. For mission-critical use, I'd recommend buying new or from a vendor with stellar refurbishment reputation.
