[@taylenmoodley]

The reason it says 3 USB 3.0 ports ( even though it shouldn't be included ) is because it is the way the Webcam is connected. The Webcam is connected basically directly to the USB 3.0 port, even though their is no physical USB 3.0 Port. If you look at device manager, the Webcam will be labeled ad "USB webcam". So basically the PC sacrifices one port to make the Webcam work. This is weird though, because normally they don't include the Webcam USB as a USB itself

[@bruhyeet8625]

[@hidayatmusroni]

@@bruhyeet8625 it the designer

[@taylenmoodley]

@Bruh Yeet because there is a version of this all-in-one without the Webcam and it actually has 3 USB 3.0 ports, so that probably applies to the model in the video

Most laptops also use USB as internal connections for webcams, or touchscreens, or even audio connections.

[@TeodorSpiridon]

It is the RAM. Ryzen hates single channel memory. If they just used dual channel RAM, the performance across the board would jump up 20-30% at least. Austin didn't get into it, but I would to know if this has a memory upgrade trap door since if it has a second slot, you can make this OK for an extra $30.

[@freshvintage]

Agreed - my laptop bumped up nearly 30% in performance by adding more RAM; give the 3250U more RAM and it will come alive!

I could see this with a quad core Ryzen CPU and 16GB of RAM as a kids PC at this price, but taking this at face value, you would be better off buying a used Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny with a quad core CPU, maxing out the RAM, adding a 256GB SSD, and coming in at around $120, assuming you already have a monitor,/TV, mouse, and keyboard for use as a basic computer running Chrome OS Flex, or a solid Linux distro like Solus w/Budgie.

[@dinoypeter]

youd be better buying a steam deck and buy a cheap monitor

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@dinoypeter You forgot the dock for the STEAM Deck, which by the time you do that you are well over $800, then unless you do some terminal work everytime the STEAM Deck updates itself, you loose all your desktop settings. Beside Im not about a system for major gaming just something simple to use as a basic computer for things like school, web browsing, YT, light gaming, etc.. , and the goal here is to do it for as little as possible, and more so these days when so many people are loosing their jobs, and the economy is not looking great, and with a little knowledge you can get a lot of value out of something like a used quad core Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny desktop, or a used Thinkpad(just make sure you can get a fresh battery for it if needed before buying it).

[@LBSiUK]

16 gigs! Bit excessive for this kind of thing. Notice how very few machines under around 800-900 will actually have 16gb. Even the $1000+ MacBooks have 8. It's more enough for what more people will use.

[@travisscavoni369]

I use an HP all-in-one at work running Windows 7 with an AMD Athlon and Radeon Graphics. Talk about painful. Any one of these would be a major upgrade. It's at the point now where I have to restart it every so often just to be able to check my email. The only reason they haven't upgraded it (besides being cheap) is that the software we use won't run on newer OSs

[@kbhasi]

The basic design and pop-out camera remind me of the HP EliteOne desktops used to run the catalogue search kiosks and Internet PCs at my local library, however, the cameras on those never get used considering the environment they're in. I can tell HP were trying to save on costs by using the same power adaptor they might have included with a Pavilion laptop and reusing the same basic design as some of their higher-end EliteOne models. I think the target market were people who just needed a basic PC, maybe if they were living in a small space.

[@Anggon5]

Back in 2014 I was taking some classes at a local community college and needed a decent pc/laptop. so I went to some pawn shops and found of of these basically brand new with all the plastic still on for around $300. It was the special edition Red Beats edition with the wireless keyboard and mouse. That computer still kicks today. seen the newer ones and they don't feel the same quality as that one does. I don't use it anymore though. let my brother use it.

Just an FYI, back in 2020, i bought a Lenovo M75Q gen2 for $488, its a Mac Mini sized PC with an 8 core Ryzen 7 4750GE, you can pair that with a ~$180 1080p75 monitor, that has a party trick of having a little enclosure on the back of the monitor for the mini PC so that it acts like an all in one, but is just as servicable as a desktop, this also allows you to upgrade to new hardware later. The monitor i bought has a built in webcam/mic as well, but the speakers are not as good as the HP, they're like little phone speakers in a deceptively large chin bezel

​@@denvera1g1 are you talking about the intel or m1?

[@denvera1g1]

@@poker.4203 M1 In video transcoding on the CPU the 4750GE was both faster, and more energy efficient at the wall. However on GPU the M1 was faster and more energy efficient, but GPU failed to compress to the same file size while maintaining the same quality as both CPU tests. Of the two GPUs the M1 Video Tool Box is far superior to AMD VCE, but CPU is far superior to both. Maybe this test would have gone different if i had the 16GB version of the Mac Mini but i think it came down to the low thread/core count of the M1 with it having only 4 big cores and 4 little cores, with AMD having 8 medium cores, and 8 helper threads(made mostly meaningless in most use cases by the 1/2 sized cache). I'm interested in getting the M2 Pro Mac Mini because of the much higher performance/big core count. As an anecdote, If you take the 4750GE and compare it to a 3950X in eco mode the 3950x is more efficient despite using more than 2x the power, because it needs a dedicated GPU and larger less integrated parts than a mini PC

If you want an AIO with a decent performance, I think the best deal is a good display with a VESA addon that you can use to add a mini PC. I bought a Minisforum mini PC with Ryzen 5 for around ~$460. Adding an extra 24" IPS display for ~$140 and you have a better machine. You can also buy a decent headphone or speaker (if that is not available in the display by default), also a better keyboard and mouse in a grand total of ~$100 and you way outperformed this HP AIO.
