Compact, Great Performance, Limited Upgradeability

Overall, I feel like this is a really solid device. However, it does have a few shortcomings that should be addressed.
First off, the performance is pretty decent. It's had a bit of trouble with some 4K gaming on titles such as Control, especially with ray tracing on. However, at lower resolutions I haven't had a problem running anything. All the benchmarks I've thrown at it come out pretty good, except for the ones designed to test 4K gaming and ray tracing. When I'm not trying to push this thing with 4K, I genuinely haven't come across a single performance issue. The CPU chews through everything just fine, the included storage is fast and doesn't seem to be a load-time bottleneck, and while I'm really not a fan of modern GPUs having only 8GB of VRAM it seems to be getting by just fine in 1080p. I've got no complaints about the onboard wireless card - download speeds are great, and I haven't noticed too much latency or jitter in any online games I've played. It would be kind of nice if there was another USB-C port as some of my gaming peripherals tend to use that, but they've got enough USB3 ports and I've got enough adapters that I'm not too fussed about it. Boot times are pretty snappy, and best of all? I haven't had a single driver issue. Not one bluescreen or weird crash to troubleshoot. HP seems to actually have their drivers nailed down pretty good with this one, and I really appreciate that.
I have no complaints about the physical construction of the computer, other than maybe questioning why only one DIMM of RAM. The machine both looks nice and feels nice to the touch. The window on the side is actual glass, most of the case appears to be metal aside from the plastic front, and I appreciate that it's got the RGB CPU and case fans that are compatible with Windows Dynamic Lighting. (The RAM being RBG is also nice.) The case is pretty easy to get into so that you can get at the upgradeable components and clean the internals, as well.
My biggest complaint is honestly about the upgrade potential of this machine. Due to the proprietary motherboard and power supply form factors, this computer is never going to be much more than this. You can't really upgrade it to keep up with the times. You could maybe swap in another graphics card as long as you don't go for one that has a much higher power draw (especially since HP did set the system up with one of those dual-8-pin-PCIe-to-12V-2x6 adapters which to their credit does offer more flexibility), you might be able to get away with upgrading the CPU to a more powerful one from the same generation maybe, and there's also full access to the two NVMe SSD slots and the Wi-Fi card slot. However, there's nowhere to put things like SATA HDDs or SSDs for extra storage, and the fact that you're stuck with the proprietary 500w power supply just feels really limiting. I know this thing is designed to be compact, but I feel like even a higher-wattage power supply or a MicroATX/ITX motherboard would have helped the longevity of this thing.
I like this machine a lot more than I thought I would. It's just generally a nice and simple machine that seems to be doing everything I ask without too much trouble or crashing or other issues. Honestly, if you want a "first gaming computer" or just want to use a couple of NVMe drives and aren't too interested in keeping up with upgrades, I would say to go for it. My recommendation becomes even stronger if you live somewhere where you're a bit pressed for space but still want decent power and don't particularly want a laptop. If upgrades are a hard line for you, however, you should stay away as this machine isn't compatible with most of them.
