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.

God only knows how this will turn out, I have $120 in rewards to burn by the end of the month. If it doesn't ship by them I'm not sure what will happen to my rewards.
Edit: Not allowing me to apply rewards so I'll just have to wait.
Does USB C Support display?

I'm used to the old days where working on Dells, HPs, etc. was like trying to solve a Rubik's cube to get into them. The proprietary power supply sucks, but it's nice in a way. There is very little cabling inside to cable manage or block airflow or get in your way when you're working on anything.
The worst thing in my opinion would be replacing the mini PCIE network card. I swapped in an Intel Wifi 6E card and attaching the hirose/u.fl antenna connectors requires better eyesight than I have any more. It took longer than I thought it would and kind of sucked. On the positive side, there were already 2 antennas installed even though the included card only used one.
