HP Elite SFF G9, Ryzen 5 8600G, 16GB, 4TB SSD

The HP Elite SFF G9 is a compact office PC with best-in-class storage (4TB NVMe) and port selection (11 USB-A ports), but a below-average CPU and integrated graphics that can't handle gaming. It's great for business and productivity, terrible for anything graphics-intensive. At MXN 25,290, it's a niche buy for people who prioritize space savings and storage over raw performance.

The Ryzen 5 8600G has 6 cores, 12 threads, and can boost up to 5GHz. That's enough for Office apps, browser tabs, and light photo editing without breaking a sweat. The integrated Radeon 760M handles dual monitors and 4K video playback fine, but gaming is a non-starter. Our gaming score for this thing is 13.7 out of 100, which is one of the worst we've seen. The 16GB of DDR5 is solid for multitasking, and the 4TB NVMe SSD means you'll basically never run out of space. Boot times are quick and apps load fast. Just don't expect to render video or play anything beyond Minesweeper.

Stacked against the Lenovo Legion 90Y6003JUS or the Corsair VENGEANCE i7500, this HP gets absolutely smoked on CPU and GPU performance. Those are gaming rigs with dedicated graphics cards, so it's not a fair fight. But even the ASUS ROG NUC, which is also a compact machine, offers far better graphics in a similar footprint. The HP's only real advantage is the 4TB SSD and the sheer number of USB ports. The CLX SET and Skytech Legacy are in a completely different league for performance, but they're also full towers that take up way more space. If you want compact and quiet for office work, the HP makes sense. If you want any kind of gaming or creative performance, look at literally any of the competitors.

At MXN 25,290, this is a tough sell for what you get. The storage and port selection are genuinely impressive, but the CPU and GPU are mid-tier at best. You're paying a premium for the HP Elite branding and the compact form factor. If you need a reliable office machine with tons of USB ports and a huge SSD, it's not a bad deal. But if you want any kind of graphics performance or future-proofing, you can get a lot more horsepower for the same money elsewhere.

The HP Elite SFF G9 is a compact office workhorse that's more about ports than power. You get a Ryzen 5 8600G, 16GB of DDR5, and a massive 4TB NVMe SSD in a case that's designed to lie flat under a monitor. It's built for spreadsheets, email, and multitasking, not gaming or heavy creative work.

Our database puts storage at the 99th percentile and port selection at the 97th. That's the story here. The CPU sits at the 33rd percentile and the integrated Radeon 760M lands mid-pack at 56th. So you're getting a ton of I/O and storage headroom wrapped around a processor that's fine for daily tasks but won't impress anyone running benchmarks.

Skip this if you need any kind of graphics performance. The integrated Radeon 760M scores 13.7 out of 100 for gaming, which is one of the worst results in our database. If you do video editing, 3D modeling, or play games, look at the ASUS ROG NUC or a small form factor gaming PC instead. Also skip it if you want Wi-Fi 6 or 6E, because this thing is stuck on Wi-Fi 5.

Buy this if you need a compact, quiet office PC with a ridiculous amount of storage and every port you could ever want. It's perfect for a reception desk, a small business, or a home office where space is tight and the workload is email, documents, and web browsing. The Windows 11 Pro license and HP's security features are nice bonuses for business users. Just don't buy it expecting to play games or do any serious creative work, because the integrated graphics will let you down hard.
