Differences between Fujitsu Esprimo E410 and HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower

If you are looking for a more modern desktop, then you should go with the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower which was released in 2015. The Fujitsu Esprimo E410 is older and entered production in 2014.

If you are looking for the smaller form factor the Fujitsu Esprimo E410 is the right one for you. It is smaller than the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower and will fit more easily under your desk.

Processor

Usually the newer the generation of the CPU, the better the performance and efficiency is. If your budget allows it, you should go with the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower as it is running a newer generation CPU. This is not to say that Fujitsu Esprimo E410 is bad - it can still run some powerful CPUs, albeit being an older generation.

Memory

The HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower has 4 RAM slots while the Fujitsu Esprimo E410 has only 2 slot(s). This is not something to worry about. Just make sure you take it into consideration when planning how much RAM you are going to use.

The HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower is using the faster 2133 MT/s RAM. The Fujitsu Esprimo E410 is slower by supporting RAM speeds of up to 1600 MT/s. Additionally, if you will be needing a lot of RAM, better go for the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower as it has the ability to run 64 GB of RAM. The Fujitsu Esprimo E410 can do a bit less at max 32 GB. Most of the times, this should be sufficient for the majority of users.

Ports

In total the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower has 10 USB ports. The Fujitsu Esprimo E410 is inferior in this regard and packs 6 USB ports. In any case, if you miss USB ports, you can always purchase a USB hub. None of the desktop models has a USB 3.1 port (10Gb/s), so if you need a fast connection to your peripherals, like external Solid State Drive, you will need to look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, only the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower has a DisplayPort. The Fujitsu Esprimo E410 does not have one? Don't worry though, nowadays video adapters are cheap and you can get almost any combination of conversion types.

None of the models has an HDMI port. If your monitor supports only the HDMI interface, you will need to buy an adapter. Such adapters are cheap so nothing to worry about.

SATA slots are located on the motherboard and it is where SSD, HDD and Optical Disk Drives are connected. Each of the two models being compared have 3 SATA slot(s). Keep in mind that having too few SATA slots might limit your options for connecting additional memory drives.

M.2 SSD interface allows you to transfer data with higher speeds compared to the old SATA interface. Unfortunately, neither the HP ProDesk 600 G2 Microtower, nor the Fujitsu Esprimo E410 has one. However, you can still use a SATA SSD drive which should give you satisfactory performance.

Make sure that the available M.2 slot supports the PCIe (also called NVMe) interface. This is important as there are M.2 slots which support only the inferior SATA III interface. For comparison, the SATA III interface has max speeds of 6Gb/s, while the PCIe 3.0 x4 will support speeds up to 32Gb/s!

Power Supply

Looking at the Power Supply Unit (PSU) of the two models we don't see any differences. For either of them you get a maximum power of 280 Watts. However be careful, many models have more than one power supply option. When buying your computer, it is a good idea to get a version with the most powerful PSU. This will potentially allow you to upgrade to a more powerful GPU for example.
