Wonderful performance given the cost. So much so that I was skeptical, so a quick review of the innards explained how HP did it. To be brief, "Value Engineering" - ruthlessly cutting costs while maintaining performance. Or said another way, don't plan on adding upgrades; the thing is already maxed out. Proprietary 300w power supply with HP-specific motherboard connectors, just 2-RAM slots, both maxed, 2-M.2 slot, both filled, one PCIe-1x and one PCIe-16x slots (neither filled, but the PS couldn't handle a video card,) smallish 256GB SSD storage (granted, one could replace this), only 4 rear USB ports, and very generic documentation which could apply to any computer made in the last 5 years. That said, "5-Stars" for the work this will be put to. Faster CPU and almost as fast graphics as my 4-year old gaming rig. (a Core i7-8700k, 16GB, GT1050.) I expected to put out a kilo-buck for this performance, getting that for 40% less was great.
I hate having to log in for HP support on my own HP computer! It has a download pending for "Realtek RTL8xxx Series Wireless LAN Drivers for Microsoft Windows 10 (DCHU)", what do I need this for, don't I have Windows 11? This stuff irks me.
