But we can’t say the same for the quality of the picture displayed on this all-in-one’s 23-inch screen, which doesn’t seem quite as bright or as saturated as the displays of other AIOs we’ve tested. And we’re less than impressed by the system’s total storage capacity, a mere 500GB.Īlthough the Compaq 8200 Elite’s integrated speakers sound a tad center-weighted, we have no criticisms. The system lacks a touchscreen, which takes part of the point of owning an all-in-one PC (even for business environments) right out of the equation. And that’s part of the reason why we weren’t surprised to see the Compaq 8200 Elite deliver a killer score of 143 on our WorldBench 6 suite of benchmarks.īut that’s really the sole bright spot on this all-in-one. But here’s the secret: Both chips can Turbo Boost, automatically overclocking themselves when needed up to an impressive 3.8GHz. That’s because it trades a lower power profile for a reduced operating clock speed as compared to the more mainstream i7-2600, which runs at a standard 3.4GHz. The main source of the Compaq 8200 Elite’s speed is its Intel Core i7-2600S processor, which doesn’t appear to be all that mighty at first glance. If you don’t mind a slight drop in speed, other business-class AIOs give a bit more bang for the buck. But it doesn’t offer much else for its $999 (as of December 19, 2011) price tag. The PC is fast–one of the fastest all-in-one desktops we’ve tested, in fact. And the HP Compaq 8200 Elite all-in-one desktop doesn’t make the task seem any easier. Trying to dig up a low-cost, all-in-one, business-class desktop system that doesn’t stink is a bit like trying to find a magic lamp in a cave: It’s a daunting proposition, to say the least.
