HP Elite 8300 Ultra Small Form Factor (Intel Quad Core i5-3470S (3rd Gen) 2.9GHz) 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi, Windows 10 Professional (Renewed)

I purchased this from Refurb Ninja. Since this computer was renewed, I searched the feedback on all the sellers. Refurb Ninja had a recent and longterm rating of over 95%. All the others were much lower. I paid a little more but the computer came well packaged, early, and was as described. I purchased a renewed hp ultra small form factor HP computer with 512gig of ram, a 512g solid state hard drive and a quad core, 3 gig processor. I also bought a cheap wireless keyboard ,mouse and a new monitor and plugged everything together after arrival. Everything fired right up and worked immediately. I am very pleased with my purchase and am very pleased with the value provided by Refurb Ninja. For less then the price of a cheap laptop computer I now have a very fast desktop computer that is not much larger. The computer is a foot in length and width and about three inches high. The end result is very high end at small price. I am a happy customer and am very pleased with Refurb Ninja!

I’m really pleased with my purchase of this little unit. I have fairly simple needs (I’m not a gamer or a technical snob) and it fulfills them admirably. The unit was well packed and arrived in fine shape cosmetically. Worked well right out of the box. It took less than fifteen minutes to unpack, hook up the monitor & keyboard and boot it up. It’s extremely quiet and does not overheat. The unit itself is well designed and the refurb folks did a fine job. You’re probably want to replace the wired keyboard and mouse supplied with the unit but they get the job done. Overall a good, solid little computer and good value for the money. Diid I mention that it boots up REALLY quickly?

Received my PC on time, it was well packaged with plenty of protection. Upon opening the box first thing I noticed was what appears to be snot on the envelope that contained the paperwork which during times of covid that is pretty upsetting and just gross in general so I used gloves to open the envelope and promptly tossed it in the trash.Everything was in great shape physically, came with a new keyboard, mouse, wifi dongle as advertised, the keyboard is defiantly the cheapest chinese crap keyboard that is formed warped and will not even sit flat on my bench but it does do its job...they said it included a keyboard but did not say it would be quality lol Not a big deal...I simply ordered a wireless keyboard and mouse combo and for the cheap price for the PC I have no issues with doing that as I feel it is still a great price point for what you get.As I looked through the housing at the power supply fan is was caked with dust and I removed the access cover and it had a small line of dust on the inside of it as well which means they skipped the cleaning during the refurb process which was disappointing but also not a deal breaker either.Once I plugged everything in and turned it on it came right up as a new and proper PC operating system and it worked flawless from start to finish, it found my wifi properly and accepted 5G wireless, bluetooth was present, sound was present and showed no driver conflicts.Once booted I pulled up the PC information and to my pleasant surprise it was an icor7 3.1ghz processor vs the advertised icor5 2.9ghz processor. The SSD hard drive was as advertised and had the advertised 16gig of ram installed so that was all a win win. The optical drive was present and working properly, fans work properly and was cosmetically very good with only very minor blemishes you expect from use and being refurbished and came with an HP OEM power supply.Overall it was a great buying experience with minor stated annoyances and I feel it is certainly a great deal for the money and is currently working flawlessly.

**May 2021 update**: computer is still working fine but i did have to buy a new bluetooth adapter and wifi dongle.So I've had this computer for two weeks now. I bought mine from refurb ninja. The work I do isn't intensive; think Google drive, docs, etc. The set up was extremely easy, basically plug in and turn on. It boots up super fast. I'm no stranger to refurbished tech and my previous two computers were nowhere near as fast, even when I first bought them. Honestly it exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I was skeptical about buying this but decided In favor of doing so because of Amazon’s great return policy. Turns out I don’t need to return this computer. It took less than 10 min to set it all up. I’m super impressed by the entire experience. I ordered it on a Friday night and it was here Monday afternoon. It was packed well and when I unpacked it I examined the casing and didn’t find one dent, scratch or heard any loose screws rolling around inside. I plugged it all in, including both my monitors and everything worked. I double checked every USB, Display Port, etc and am happy to say not one thing was wrong with it. The set up was seamless and Windows came right up, Office 365 was also licensed and because I had everything from my laptop on the cloud I was able to sync everything and now I have everything that I had on my other computer. I needed this PC for the 16 gigs of ram. It only came with a 500gb hard drive but that is fine because I don’t bog my systems down with “stuff” I keep it all on the cloud. I constantly have multiple programs running. I run FileMaker, Zoom and WordPress all at the same time and the 16gigs of ram does the job well. I thought I should have bought a 32gig ram system but the 16 is perfect. If I want, there’s plenty of room to add more ram, which is cheap to do. I highly suggest buying one of these units. I spent less than 230 bucks to on it. It came with a USB WiFi and USB Bluetooth. The keyboard and mouse are cheap but who uses a wired keyboard and mouse? Not me.
