In July I decided to buy a used, refurbished mini PC. I chose a non-profit company in my area. It was the
HP ProDesk 600 G4 DM
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8100T CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz
8 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB SSD
I upgraded this PC myself to 16 GB DDR4 RAM and 512 GM SSD and have been using it as my main computer ever since.
It’s been running like a kitten since day one. No problems with Windows 11 24H2 Enterprise and other programs. Video editing with Handbrake is also relatively fast. Loading times are almost non-existent, Office starts lightning fast, as do all other programs.
I can now only recommend giving a used, refurbished PC a new chance to protect the environment and your wallet. Especially when it comes to the office and school sector, it doesn’t always have to be the latest and greatest.
