REAL-TALK review of the HP 24 DP-0224 all-in-one desktop PC

My unboxing and review of the HP 24 dp-0224 series all-in-one PC!
This is my unboxing and review of the HP 24 dp-0224 series all-in-one computer. From the Ryzen processor to the whopping 1TB of fast-moving SSD storage, this machine packs a pretty big punch! Retractable/hidden webcam included as a nice extra feature for your security and privacy. Check out the video, I think you'll agree it's a great little computer for the average consumer!
This HP 24" all-in-one is a solid PC for the price point. I highly recommend it, great value for the money! This is a hot-selling PC. If not available, any of these HP 24 d-series all-in-one computers are going to give you comparable performance at this price point. Enjoy!

Finally an actual review! Thank you. I’m looking at the 27”.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Thanks for your comment. I've had a lot of people say the same thing, they want the 27 inch. All things being equal, if the price is worth the extra three inches of screen space, I say go for it. They are good quality All in One machines and you'll be happy!

[@chrissybabyist]

@@AskYourComputerGuy it also comes with more storage. I just have to decide whether I want the Ryzen 7 or the intel core 7i.

Tough call. AMD is better for gaming IMO, Intel is better for "everyday" use. If that helps :)

[@fleamine]

You didnt get a good deal, The one I have broke down after 1st year of owning. They are the worst I have ever used.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

I would have recommended an extended warranty for that reason. They don't make computers the way they used to. I've bought 2 brand new PC's fresh from the warehouse...one worked like a champ, the other wouldn't stay on for more than 20 seconds. It happens with ALL computers. Sometimes you just get lucky. That's why the extended warranty, as well as a reliable backup, is critical with any purchase :(

[@jdawggs2009]

Thank you . I could not find how to open mouse to put battery in until you showed me by taking the top off. Had to use my spare with a lead for a while. They should have, at least put a picture in the instructions.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Agreed!

[@mikealonso2561]

Quick question, also great review! Thanks Does this all-in-one have a loud fan? Or is it a silent fan?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Actually the fan was surprisingly quiet. Usually all in ones are rather loud because of the lack of airflow. Especially with HP's. But I was pleasantly surprised with this one!

[@VeronicaLopez-uj1iy]

Thank you for the review. Costco has them for $550

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Unfortunately, DVD's are going the way of the do-do bird. Many new systems don't have one. You can buy an external drive (such as the one I use) as cheap as $19 on Amazon. Here's a decent one: amzn.to/3Rgoxzk

I have a question, lets say I want to watch a DVD disc, what type of device would be compatible with this type of desktop? Also love your video! Keep up the good work!

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

This particular machine can only play standard CD and DVD, not Blu-Ray. You would need to either replace the existing drive with an internal Blu-ray drive, or (preferably, easier and cheaper), buy an external, USB Blu-ray drive. Hope this helps, and thanks for the question!

[@desolate45]

I’m contemplating buying this in order to edit KZbin videos, Run OBS/Stream Labs, and edit music. Would you recommend? Seems like a solid PC just don’t know if it’s powerful enough.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

As a KZbin creator, I can say you absolutely can use this to do those things. Naturally, if you need faster editing (editing large 4k videos, for example), you probably should scale up with a different PC. For average editing, it'll work beautifully :)

[@ebwwrestling669]

Absolutely, assuming you have enough internet bandwidth. No problem at all. The built in Webcam isn't the highest resolution, but it will absolutely work

I bought this computer on Amazon last week it is in my room now.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Good deal, hope you are enjoying it!

[@oxyroid]

could this still be used for those “hardcore” games though? would it just be a little laggy?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Yes, but you would have to turn your game settings way down. If you just want to play the game and FPS, etc aren't an issue, go for it. But it's not a gaming computer so you won't have that extra "punch" you'd need to play high -res, full frame rate

[@FienixNguyen]

Thank you for this review. I am loking around for an all in one desktop and this one caught my eyes. So I have a very quick question and would love to have a respone from you. Will this computer work well if I use it to work with Excel and have to handle a very large amount of data? Thank you!

Is that square port on back of screen for hooking the cable up coming from my internet provider? number 5 on instructions. thank you

[@SaraBeatriceOne]

Hi I've got a question: Does this computer give of any sound? How quiet is it while being used?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Yes it has full stereo sound. It won't blow you off the desk with the internal speakers, but its adequate, I'd say. I would probably hook up external speakers, but everyone has their preference:)

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

As far as overall noise, the AIO is surprisingly quiet. Almost whisper quiet when in use.

[@MaryOchoaTV]

hi, i have the hp22 all in one. as soon as it turns on the screen says install de operative system on you hard drive... I'm frustrated I don't know what to do

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Anytime you get a message about your operating system when you turn the computer on, it either means that you have a hard drive that is failing and the system cannot read it and thereby load the Windows operating system, or there is something wrong with your Windows operating system. That could be corrupted files, a virus or a handful of other things. I would reach out to a local repair tech and have them reinstall Windows on that drive assuming that it is still good, and then you should be back up and running

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

If I recall, there are two HDMI ports, one for inbound and one for outbound. I would double check the specs, but if so, yes you could

[@psdaengr911]

I looked at the HP in a couple of the other all-in-ones and decided that it didn't make sense financially to replace everything to replace a PC. I have cameras, keyboards, mice, etc better than what the HP includes. It was much easy for me to find a 24" 1920 x 1080p fast refresh monitor, a right-sized NUC-size PC with Windows 11 Pro, 16GB RA , 512gb SSD and a slot for 2TB more SSD. The NUC is sitting on my desk, but it could mount on the monitor. I don't keep much data locally. Most of my data in cloud storage and everything is backed up there. I have no confidence in consumer HDDs; I spent 40 year supporting PC and they had more HDDs fail than anything else. For $350 I got everything needed for a good business PC. btw, What's state of the consumer art in Windows hardware is so far beyond what most people need to do anything useful that it's disgusting - and expensive. The money wasted on overspec'd toys will be missed when players get to retirement and haven't the money to afford living, healthcare and playing.

I was prepared to wanted this monitor as my room. I still don’t why the comments can may have issue getting windows update nowadays

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

That’s usually not a hardware issue. Getting windows updates (or not) is usually a windows problem.

[@cubspopply5445]

Question, when I start up the desktop I have a problem where the screen just flickers on and off. And all the things are working correctly, like the sounds are working fine, the "display" is working, everything is running its just the screen flickers and goes black. How can I fix that? I tried hard resetting but even in the recovery window its all blackened and flickering.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

That usually happens when a driver is being updated. It's a little unusual for it to happen during normal operation unless there is a heavy load on the graphics card, like perhaps when you're playing a game at max resolution or something. I would check for the latest video driver and see if it persists after that.

[@cubspopply5445]

@@AskYourComputerGuy mm. I see then, cuz yeah like you said I was just setting up my new desktop but it just kept doing that like during the buildup process. Idk what happened and when I did try to reboot the computer (quite a numerous amount) it just kept bugging out with the screen flickers. I was a little nervous since this is my first desktop computer.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

It will always do that when first setting up or installing Windows. It's all driver updates. It's only when it happens during normal usage that you should address it. Hope that helped

I had to get a new computer since Microsoft isn't supporting windows 8 when the year is up. I've had an hp computer that's been solid for many years so I ordered an hp all-in-one, win11 with a 27 inch screen, 12th gen Intel core i7, 1tb drive, 16 mg ram, ssd. It has a wired keyboard and mouse but I can always get unwired ones for cheap. Paid $930 black Friday, normally $1200, and got a 4 year extended warranty for $40. Hoping it will be a good choice.

I bought this computer 3 days ago and can't finish to set up , when it ask me for network security key, I did type password still not working

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

You should have an option to select "I don't have internet" and just continue. You can try to connect to wifi after setup is complete. This is not an issue with this particular machine, that is a Microsoft problem. Worst case, restart the machine and find the option for system recovery, which should start you over from "brand-new". Hope that helps

Not uncommon with all in ones. The lack of proper ventilation does tend to make the fans run longer and louder. Not a defect, just an annoyance if anything. But it's by design

I accidentally knocked my all in one on the floor as I was dusting. Now the picture is distorted colored streaks. I have a second screen that does work so I know it's operating but have to replace led screen. Is this costly?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Sorry to hear that. Less costly if you do it yourself. Plenty of disassembly videos on KZbin. Most AIO screens are going to cost $125-200+, then add labor. I'd either use the secondary screen or spend that money on a new PC. Unless you're just brave 👍

[@beealexander53]

@@AskYourComputerGuy thanks so much. I'll see what cost for repair is. It didn't fall that hard? Smh. I may not get another all in one again...I made the mistake of not getting additional insurance too. Oh well. Lesson learned.

Is it good for graphic design? Does the screen bright? How does colours transfer? How would you compare this computer with apple monitors?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Yes good for graphic design. Maybe not best for video processing, but graphics, absolutely. Color depth, vibrancy and resolution all would have worked well for me. There is no comparison to Apple products, they are different classes of hardware. For a PC, it's pretty decent quality, though. Certainly enough that I'd be happy with it

Is this device good for programming, designing, and serious work?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Depends on how much "crunch" power you need. I can see it being decent for programming, but probably not for compiling code for an entire operating system. I'd trust it for light video editing for example, but not large 4k compiling. It's a decent work machine
