HP Compaq 8200 Elite Ultra-slim Review

Here's one reason why you should be interested in the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Ultra Slim for your business use: It's fast. The company decided to slap an Intel Sandy Bridge processor into its reasonably priced £838 business desktop. Alas, this speedy CPU...

HP has strapped a speedy Sandy Bridge CPU into an antiquated system design, delivering strong performance for a business class desktop, but not much else.

HP Compaq 8200 Elite All-in-one review

So how does the Compaq 8200 Elite stack up? Though slightly slower and slightly smaller (at a screen size of 21.5in), Lenovo's ThinkCentre M91z trades a performance difference of 8% for a full touchscreen, identical storage capacity, and support for...

HP Compaq 8200 Elite All-in-One Review: A Superfast PC That Fizzles

Trying to dig up a low-cost, all-in-one, business-class desktop system that doesn't stink is a bit like trying to find a magic lamp in a cave: It's a daunting proposition, to say the least. And the HP Compaq 8200 Elite all-in-one desktop doesn't make...

Superfast general performance ; Integrated 802.11n connectivity

Limited connection options ; Below-average storage capacity

If speed is the name of your game, you won’t be disappointed by this business-class, all-in-one system. But that’s all it really brings to the table.

HP Compaq 8200 Elite USDT

The HP Compaq 8200 Elite USDT is a compact desktop that's a good choice for businesses dealing mainly with information on the LAN or on the Internet.

Compact form factor. Includes MXM card slot. SSD option available.

Uses notebook-class hard and optical drives, external power supply. Not expandable. No HDMI, USB 3.0, eSATA ports. Limited capacity storage. Replacing hard drive somewhat involved.

HP Compaq 8200 Elite All-in-One

The left hand side of the 8200 Elite is where you'll find two USB 2.0 ports, audio, and a 6-in-1 card reader (mainly variants of SD and Memory Stick). The right side has the system's tray-loading DVD drive, drive activity light, and brightness...

Compact all-in-one form factor. Storage area for keyboard. Quad-core processor. Wireless mouse and keyboard. 802.11a/b/g/n dual channel Wi-Fi. Lots of options. 3 year warranty

No USB 3.0, eSATA, nor HDMI in. External power brick. A few pieces of bloatware

The HP Compaq 8200 Elite All-in-one PC is a nice performer with a restrained, yet intelligent design. However, it's a smidge too expensive for what you get in this configuration.

HP Compaq 8200 Elite Ultra-Slim Desktop Review

Although the desktop market isn't shrinking too fast these days, the desktops themselves are.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Decent product, lackluster support.

Steps taken to get this Machine Grandma-ready: • Make a rescue CD and reinstall windows to fix my update problem, there is a recovery partition on the Hard Drive. • Install a 2gb Stick of ram for about $12, brings it up to a modest 6gb. • Use a tool...

For the price the performance is wonderful.

Had problems with windows update using 100% cpu and freezing. After days of trying fixes I ask for a new image to install or something and the support links me to a shady ISO website. No thanks. Lid didn't fit on right when I got it, bent a tab with...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great deal!

Great deal for the money, but upgrade to an SSD.

Was fast to begin with, but I swapped the HD out for and SSD and WOW! 16 gigs of RAM really makes a difference too. I like it so much, I'm buying another.

First unit I received was a dud. Random BSOD. Newegg was great. Sent me the shipping labels and sent me a new machine. It took a little longer than I would have liked, but still relatively quick and painless.
