  • Small desktops

    Recently, I ordered a small computer for a desk that doesn’t have a lot of room. The HP Elite Mini 800 G9 Desktop PC is a small form factor model with two video outputs, several USB-A ports, one USB-C port — and no floppy or CD-ROM drive.

    To give you a sense of size, the photo at left shows the unit next to an 8.5″ paper cutter. One always has to balance serviceability with size.  There is not going to be a lot of room in this unit, but at 32GB RAM with a 256GB SSD drive, this will service a worker just fine.

    At a little over $1,000, I consider it well priced.

    Is physical size an issue for you? If you are thinking about a desktop to run Windows 11, would you consider a small form factor like the many mini-PCs out there, or are you going for a more traditional desktop with a larger form factor?
