    310w psu. Why do they put such tiny power supplies in a build with dedicated graphics and i7. Otherwise great value, includes optical drive and card reader also.

      These PSU's are often 80+ Gold/Platinum like most of their SFF pre-builds.

      It's really weird when people make these comments about power supplies.

      https://www.techspot.com/review/1209-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060…

      Whole system consumption with an i7 and this graphics card is gonna be about 200W, why would you complain about the inclusion of a 300W unit?

        True, no warranty with people off Gumtree, but we're almost 2 years since the deal, and it's trucking along fine. It may well have died a week after owning it, that's true.

        • CoreJava on 20/02/2020 - 08:14

          Your one is worst, it is a 7th Gen i5. I suggest not to get your one on gumtree as you don't know where the pc has been. Your computer maybe infested with cockroaches or other crap because it was not brand new.

      4 cores compared to 6 with threading is not similar at all.

        8700 is 6 Cores 12 Threads (not 8 cores), but yes your point still stands. The i7-8700 blows away the i5-7500

      i5-7500 is actually worse than the i3-9100F (lower clock speed) and unfortunately doesn't age well. If it was the old 4c/8t i7 it would have been decent, but the old locked 4c i5 is seriously lagging behind now, slower than i3-9100F which is around $130.

        But the gpu in the ryzen system is better.
        And if it’s for gaming, then the cpus in both are close enough in performance that it’s the gpu that actually matters.

    Yeah I bought a similar HP, the 720a in 2016. It was a good buy for me at the time, but I could have still done better. This system uses proprietary hardware, so it is actually locked to certain specifications. For example, you can't change the power supply easily, which then limits your upgrade options. However, if you are happy with average performance in favor of reliability + warranty, then it might be worthwhile.

  • nkahoang on 19/02/2020 - 19:46

    Weirdly I actually am having this at the moment.

    Despite the PSU being only 310W, I was able to upgrade it to RTX 2060 Super 8GB! The variant is MSI Aero ITX (Small form factor). You just needed to buy a 6pin to 8pin connector for only $1-2 on eBay.

    I know it was a risky move but the system was surprisingly stable. I am running it 24/7 as a Remote Desktop for me running a couple of tensorflow model.

    The PSU is actually rated Gold I think. I also bought a TP Link TS110 smart switch to monitor usage and at max use (training model) it draws only 300W from the power source.

    Also upgraded Ram to 32GB and 2TB nVme.

        8:19 pm
        My name is <edited>.
        I would like to know how many SATA ports it has available for adding additional internal hard drives.

        8:22 pm
        Upon checking, it only comes with an extra 1 M.2 for an SSD.
        so there are zero SATA ports available?

        8:25 pm
        No SATA.

        8:25 pm
        this unfortunately limits the storage of the PC

          The rep is dumb. They're thinking how many SATA HDD/SSDs are included. Looking at the motherboard it's only 3.

            8:28 pm
            Upon checking, it has 0 inventory.

            that is unfortunate, you should remove it from the website then I think?

            8:29 pm
            Ivy
            It's not yet refreshed. I'll raise this concern to our website management.

            8:30 pm
            Is there anything else I can assist you with before we end this chat?
            Just trust me. It doesn't have stocks. If you'll continue to purchase, it will be cancelled.

        There are 3 SATA ports.

        1 already connected to the CD Rom. 2 more slots for SSD/HDD. Note that there are only 2 Standard hard drive power cables so you can’t convert the CD Rom bay to HDD easily.

        There is also a PCIe 3.0x1 which I converted to a second nvme.

        • wwonka on 20/02/2020 - 15:52

          Thanks for the info, but not being a "techie", can you clarify if I could easily :

          a) add a 2nd SSD/HDD principally for storage (using the existing 256 GB NVMe for Windows and some apps) or

          b) add a 2nd NVMe (would that require any adapter ?)

    This is turning out to be a hassle.
    They can't confirm whether it's refurb or not.

    I said they'd better not ship it if it's Refurb and to put the order on hold until they can confirm.

      I just got off the phone to HP who said that they are aware of the issue and it has been escalated - it took some asking however they eventually admitted that it was an error, they are all refurbished and that stock hasn't even been allocated to for fill the orders. I told them that I bought a new computer not refurbished to which they said they would refund me.. which I accepted.

  • goldiep on 20/02/2020 - 15:28

    Is refurbishment such a big issue? Still has warranty - that said there was no indication of refurbishment when I ordered. Potentially a claim for some additional discount?

  • tjioer on 20/02/2020 - 16:11

    Cancelled mine as well.

    I can't accept refurb. Who knows the condition of the unit and how long it has been used for, if that's the case.

    Too good to be true, indeed.

  • Kelvin on 20/02/2020 - 17:04

    What.. an interesting plan…

    Tell everybody it is refurbished.. then most orders will be cancelled..
    Then sort out the people.. who don't cancel.. with new updated models.. (when they figure out they dont have enough stock of the run out model..)..

    Bought this here
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/506821
    Obviously oversold…
    A bunch of us got upgraded to the newer G5 model free of charge.. though we had to wait another 6 weeks or so..
