For £994.61 ex-VAT, the HP Pro 400 G9 with an i5 and 16GB RAM looks like a sensible “standard office” buy—particularly if you’re furnishing a team that mostly lives in browsers, Microsoft 365, Teams, and line-of-business apps. HP’s Pro line is usually pretty dependable in a business rollout, and the build/management side (BIOS/driver support, typical enterprise-style reliability) is often the real reason IT teams like them. If you want a boring, safe desktop that won’t turn into a support ticket generator, this is that kind of machine.
That said, I’d only buy it at this price if you’ve checked what’s included in your bundle and whether you can actually get upgrades/maintenance handled cheaply. “512GB SSD + 16GB” is fine for typical office workloads, but if you have heavier multitasking (bigger Excel models, lots of VM use, dev tools, or frequent local file work), you may outgrow it faster than you’d like—then you’re paying today instead of spending smarter later. Also, SFF desktops can be a bit more constrained for future expansion than you might expect, so if your plan is to grow hardware over time, confirm upgrade paths before committing.
