Q: Is the processor 8th generation ?
A: I bought the 8200 version of this computer a month ago, and it did not . It had an i3-2400 processor. The units are of the same vintage, and I suspect refurbished by the same company. This unit likely has a better 2nd Gen processor, but it will not be 8th Gen. I returned the computer to my local Best Buy the next day (they were closed by the time I booted the system on day of purchase), and they completely understood why. I thought it was a great deal too. Turns out it is false advertising. Waste your time/money at your own peril.
A: This model does not have HDMI. It has DsiplayPort and VGA.
Q: Does this come with a working READ AND WRITE cd/dvd drive
A: Yes, the drive in the computer will both read and write CDs and DVDs.
Q: Can I play video games off of steam on this? And can I stream on twitch on this?
A: Hi Bailey, thank you for the question. Unfortunately, the HP Compaq Elite 8300 Desktop can not run games or stream with Twitch because it does not have a dedicated graphics card.
