HP ProDesk 405 G4 Desktop Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 3.2GHz CPU, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, Radeon Vega 11 Graphics, WIndows 10 Pro

When I opened the box, I was a bit surprised to see that rather than the prodesk 405 g4 that I ordered, I received an Elitedesk 705 G4. At first I was a bit nervous that I might not have received the AMD Ryzen 5 version, as I specifically wanted that version, but after some research and initial setup, I can happily say that this is simply the latest generation/iteration of the prodesk 405, and as a bonus I received a front facing usb C port that the intel versions of this system also seem to have in the reviews. It did have the Desktop AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 2400, 8GB of Ram, and 256GB SSD drive. These systems can also internally be expanded to 32GB of memory, and apparently there is a 2.5" bay inside which could be used to add an additional drive.The system is very impressive. I am able to run world of Warcraft classic on it seamlessly even in raids, very smooth 60 ish FPS, no noticed lag anywhere. There are three display port adapters on the back, so it works well for an office environment where you would like to attach multiple monitors. it is very light and small, and all in all I could not be more happy with it. During gaming, I hear the fan come on, but as I am typing this, or just generally using my PC for office work it is inaudible. It sounds completely silent in fact unless under load.I would definitely (and have already) recommend buying this PC. It is an incredible value for the money.

It’s work and are small yet powerful enough to handle most general office work loads. Would have given extra star, but packaging leaves a bit to be desired. The unit was loose and slipping around in every box we opened. Overall it’s a good price for the PC.

Bought one for my elderly father to replace an old clunker he's had for 10 years. Absolutely love the size and the price. I was able to slip it right under the monitor shelf on his desk...now you barely know its there compared to his old desktop (which was compact for its day). Setup was easy-breezy and since it has wi-fi I was able to eliminate the Ethernet cable and easily hide the few cables that remain. Starts up in a fraction of the time and does everything that a home computer should do. My father even plays a few games on it, but I don't think they're especially resource taxing. I would recommend this for anyone who needs a home - and perhaps work - desktop and wants to recapture some space.

I really want to give these 5 stars and I really like the form factor, they run fast, and the price with the Ryzen processors can't be beat. The only problem and it is a BIG one is that the continue to lose their network connection and require a reboot to fix them. We have a ticket open with HP and have not had any luck in resolving yet. We have about 100 of the Intel i3 & i5 versions of these machines and do not have this same issue. The money that has been saved on this line has been lost in productivity and time troubleshooting.

I got an elite desk model with an nvme ssd. If you open the case and apply two nvme heatsinks to the top of the cpu heatsink you will get noticeably better performance, the pc gets warm unless you have extremely overkill cooling around it. It thermal throttles pretty easily without extra cooling. I applied many mini heatsinks and put a 140mm fan atop it and it plays fortnight at lowest settings 1080p, any 2d games are gonna be playable. If using it for work it probably needs no modification other than being in a cold room. Mine only had display ports so I needed an adapter for TV

Powerful little box for its size. I use this as my primary work machine and it does everything I need it to. After updating everything from OS to firmware it churns along happily. I recommend upgrading the ram with an extra stick to squeeze out a little extra performance if you plan on doing anything remotely graphics intensive or run chrome, cause chrome eats ram like no other. Otherwise the other machines we use as kiosk boxes and they run perfectly for that, main choice was that these were a spectacular price for the specs at the time of purchase and those don't need much to run so a little future proofing goes a long way in the budget.

The PC constantly restart right out of the box with nothing but Chrome installed. After resetting the Windows 10 to factory default, still have same problem. Kernel-Power (41) is the problem pointing to maybe the power supply issue. Tried using power supply from 2nd unit purchased and get same exact result. Not worth the time and headache to save a few bucks on these unit.

The PC works like it should and is very easy to get set up. The only thing I would caution potential buyers is that when the listing says it has two display ports you need to know that Display Port is a specific thing. The last time I got a new PC was in 2009 and Display Port was not a thing. I had to buy a special cable (Display Port to HDMI) to connect to a monitor. Otherwise, I'm pleased with my purchase.
