HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini review: specs, options & used prices

What this machine is

As used-market small form factors go, the HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini is a known quantity: standard parts, a wide configuration ladder, and steady supply on the secondary market.

Corporate fleets retire machines like this in batches, which is why the used supply is steady and prices stay predictable.

Only 2 tracked listings survive for this model, so treat any quoted price as indicative rather than a market consensus.

Configurations you will actually see

Configurations we track pair the EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini with the Core i5-8500. These are 8th-generation Intel Core parts. From the 8th generation on, these generally meet Windows 11 requirements.

Memory options run from 4 GB to 4 GB (4 GB). For a current operating system, treat anything below 8 GB as a first upgrade, not a final configuration.

Upgrade path and running costs

The compact chassis accepts standard low-profile parts, and drive bays are typically accessible without tools. The trade-off is a small, often proprietary power supply — check it before planning any graphics add-on.

Our compactness rating for this chassis: 100/100 — the smallest class we rate.

Who it fits

If the task is browsing, office documents, video calls, or a kiosk/POS role, the EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini does the job at a low sensible price.

Full specifications, current options and tracked prices live on its spec sheet; the desktop catalog and the HP desktops page help place it among the alternatives.

Verdict

The EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini is not exciting, and that is the point: a known quantity with a known configuration ladder.

Price data is thin for this model, so compare current listings directly rather than relying on a quoted median — configuration differences dominate on this class of machine.

Our composite LB Score currently sits at 12/100 — a score that mostly reflects the platform age — use it to compare like with like, not against modern hardware.
