5 Things to Know About the HP EliteDesk 800 G1 TWR
Regarding the HP EliteDesk: 1. It uses an LGA 1150 socket with Intel’s Q87 chipset. This supports 4th Gen Haswell processors from Core i3 through i7, plus Pentium and Celeron variants.
Haswell is nearly a decade old. This is strictly a budget or legacy system, not a modern performer.
The Q87 chipset includes business features like vPro and AMT. Enterprise buyers still value these for remote management and security.
It’s a tower form factor. The TWR stands for “tower,” offering more expansion space than small-form-factor desktops.
Expect limited upgrade potential. DDR3 RAM and SATA storage are the norm, with no support for newer standards like DDR4 or NVMe.
