If you have an amex card check your amex offers for one offering $25 back on a $500+ purchase which can be used up to 10 times. I've received my credit from this purchase. Don't forget the cashback sites. My amex business card paid 5% back on "office supplies" as well AND adds an additional year to the warranty. If not you MAY want to consider the extended warranty since it's a 1 year LIMITED warranty.
This system HAS been verified to work fine with 64GB of ram (as well as 48gb if you want to start by adding a 32GB to the existing 16gb) under both bios and a linux live iso. I don't use windows so will leave that for someone else. There was alot of info in the previous deal about this pc. It has a 2.5" hd slot, 2 free sata slots with one cable even provided. -- Famewolf

For those who are curious, the CPU in this is very close to the 5800X in performance (in other words, it's a monster), however the motherboard and power supply are proprietary (in physical shape and connectors), so video card upgrade options are extremely limited.
To add insult to injury, one user reported that the motherboard in this also does NOT support ANY older AMD CPUs, so if you are considering buying one of these with the intent of swapping in a different CPU to resell the PC and then using the 5700G in a real gaming system (because it alone is worth $400+), there is no point, because this HP will not work with anything but a 5x00G series processor. So, you'd be stuck with a $550 PC with no processor, that requires a processor that cannot be purchased at retail. Might as well just buy the 5800X or 5600X from the start.
I can't think of any possible way to use this system to the full potential of the extremely powerful CPU without being hindered by something that cannot be upgraded.
Don't fall for these deliberately neutered PCs desktop PCs that can't be maintained\upgraded in the long run. This way of designing computers is bad for enthusiasts, consumers and the environment. This is planned obsolescence at its worst.
If someone figures out a way to use an older Ryzen APU in one of these (updated\hacked BIOS, etc.), the story changes quite a bit, but the system itself offers almost no upgrade path for those interested in games.
The Ryzen 5700g APU has only been out for maybe a month or 2. This whole deal is the CPU basically and a minimal system built around it.

Provided one can find the physical space one could likely put 3 x 3.5s in there.
Velcro tape works well for stuffing drives into cases.
I once had 10 3.5 HDDs in a midsize tower home server.

You do not need to do any gaming to realize that a good, modern GPU will future proof your PC purchase and allow it to take advantage of rapidly developing display technologies and standards. Even if you don't care about pixels or framerate or processing power mumbo jumbo, just know that your $550 should simply be getting you a better computer than this.

If gaming performance is your top priority, this system may not be for you. Even though it's the most powerful non-console APU on the market right now. But Intel's Alder Lake CPUs are coming later this year and it looks like AMD will double graphics performance in its next desktop APU.
