HP - Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 - 12GB - 1TB SSD - Jet Black

This is a very fast PC for the price. I spent over 2 years looking at different setups (both premade and custom built) to replace my video editing PC from 2015. This checked all the right boxes. Pros: The Ryzen 5 4600g is an amazing CPU for its price range. The memory came out of the box clocked at 3200. The PCIE NVME 1TB drive is a good WD drive. There is room to add two 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives (although one mount is hard to notice at the front bottom of the case). It even has the SATA power and data cables inside the case to add them. Also has room for a slim DVD/Blue Ray drive, although I believe that needs a custom clip/mount from HP. It's also very quiet, even under a full load for extended periods of time. It is not plagued by shut down/boot issues like the last couple of Dells I've had are. Has an efficient PSU. Cons: Inadequate cooling. The CPU cooler is a tiny heatsink with a single 80 mm PWM fan. There is a single 92mm non-PWM exhaust fan in the case. Under a video editing load the CPU is seeing about 82-85 degrees Celsius. I'll be upgrading mine with a Noctua NH-U9S cooler and a Noctua case fan which should handle the heat issues and keeps things very quiet. Also, it would be nice if it had a few more USB ports and a USB C port. Has a lot of HP bloatware, unfortunately. A lot of Windows 10 bloatware, but that's unavoidable. PSU is proprietary. Looks like there is room for an ATX PSU, but some of the connectors are custom, and would need to be repinned. Conclusion. Excellent for occasional heavy workloads. Will need cooling upgraded for anything more. Can handle some light gaming even. Would also make a great HTPC if you have room for it.

So far its been great! Made this purchase for my business. very fast haven’t experienced any lag whatsoever.

I have had my old tower for nearly 10 years. It was custom built and a good machine. I did not want to replace but the time had come. The new machine is fast quite and easy to use, The geek squad took good car of me.

Great value for what you get. Everyone always thinks they must have an intel chip, but save some money eat and get more with the AMD options.

amazing value for your money on this ryzen 5 pc even tho it dosent have an optical drive but its 2021 who uses cds anymore.

Fast, efficient, and compact. Good value for the price I highly recommend this computer.

Very reliable box. Have always liked HP computers and this one has not disappointed us.

Worth every penny that I paid. I had great service, best computer I have ever owned.
