Used HP 705 G4.  Some visual scuffs but works great.  Nice little basic office / home PC with decent integrated graphics.


Major components are standard off the shelf stuff and are user replaceable (e.g. SODIMM RAM and a 2280 M.2 NVMe drive).

I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro.

  • All telemetry disabled during install except allowing apps to ask for location access since that can actually be useful
  • Latest BIOS / UEFI applied
  • Windows updates & Windows Store updates applied
  • Only 2 things installed.  HP Image Assistant for deploying their BIOS / UEFI and driver updates, and UBlock Origin extension for Edge.  The other utilities to provide information in the screenshot were just extracted from zip files and then nuked.
  • Username / password will be admin / admin (you should change this!)
