Let me start by saying this refurbished HP EliteOne 800 G2 is a beast when it works properly. The 23-inch FHD screen is gorgeous for document work, and that Intel Core i5 processor handles my daily multitasking like a champ. I've been using it as my primary workstation for graphic design projects, and the color accuracy surprised me for a renewed machine.

However - and this is a big however - the WiFi issues some reviewers mentioned are REAL. I experienced the exact same disconnection problems, which is baffling for an 'Elite' business-class machine. Ended up using a USB WiFi adapter as a workaround, which feels ridiculous on a premium all-in-one.

The build quality feels solid (that brushed metal stand!), but buyer beware: my unit arrived with a faulty hard drive just like another reviewer mentioned. Thankfully Amazon's return process was painless, but it makes me question the refurbishment standards. When working properly though? This thing flies through Photoshop and handles 4K video playback smoothly.

Pro tip: If you buy this, immediately check the drive health with CrystalDiskInfo. Several of us got units with failing drives. That said, when you get a good one (like my replacement), it's an absolute steal at this price point. Just budget for potential additional warranty or repair costs.

The lack of HDMI ports is annoying in 2023 - I had to use DisplayPort adapters for my secondary monitor setup. Also worth noting: the included wireless mouse in my package was DOA (common issue apparently). But core performance? For basic office work and media consumption, it's fantastic when everything functions as intended.
