HP EliteDesk 805 G6 review: specs, options & used prices

What this machine is

As used-market small form factors go, the HP EliteDesk 805 G6 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.

Across 6 tracked listings, the median asking price is $240.

Configurations you will actually see

The CPU options we track for the EliteDesk 805 G6 are the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, Ryzen 5 PRO 4650GE and Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE. AMD Ryzen options cover the mainstream range for this era; the specific SKU in each listing decides the performance tier.

Memory options run from 8 GB to 16 GB (8 GB, 16 GB). 8 GB is workable for one person; 16 GB is the comfortable setting for typical office and home use.

Solid-state storage options include 256GB SSD and 512GB SSD.

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: 75/100 — compact by design.

Who it fits

If the task is browsing, office documents, video calls, or a kiosk/POS role, the EliteDesk 805 G6 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 805 G6 is not exciting, and that is the point: a known quantity with a known configuration ladder.

Buy it when you need a cheap, repairable machine for its class of work, and verify the configuration before paying — RAM and storage vary widely between listings. Tracked prices span $162 to $290, and most of that spread is configuration, not condition.

Our composite LB Score currently sits at 21/100 — a score that mostly reflects the platform age — use it to compare like with like, not against modern hardware.
