In store deals are advertised on the microcenter website, you just have to go in store to purchase.
This processor is more expensive, has 8gb more ram, 256gb more on the SSD, (has the negligible TB HD), but I think the AMD deal had the better power supply, but w/e.
If youre interested in it - check a video review on the thermals, see if it has the same issues the HP Omen does.
This seems like a good deal if you price out the components, but the case/cooling may make it something to pass on. The power supply could also be a bit better, but that shouldn't be too difficult to swap out if that is the only thing someone doesn't like (as long as HP doesn't use proprietary connectors.. I'm looking at you, Dell..)
EDIT: I saw later posts that indicate HP uses proprietary parts, etc. Pass on this in my opinion...
Doing so will keep you from being tied down to the restrictive case or what may also be other proprietary hardware along with bloatware.
HP puts a lot of proprietary crap in their systems such as non-standard mb and psu so they can't be upgraded or moved to a new systems which creates more ewaste. Also they value form over function so unless you check reviews for this system it could have incredibly bad cooling that actually thermal throttles the cpu/gpu like the recent alienware that Gamers Nexus reviewed.
I could have tried to move the motherboard to a new case, but the MB was also a bit weak (only 1 NVME M.2 slot) and had a proprietary header connector to the front case I/O. So to avoid the hassles I bought a new case (N400, $59), motherboard ($65) and power supply ($54). The Cooler Master N400 case has room for 8 hard drives, the new (gently used
Unfortunately, that $40-80 savings and the convenience of it being prebuilt come at a cost... mainly thermals as I'm certain this case will be a hot-box with an Alder Lake i7 (up to 180w when boosting) and an RTX 3060 (170w, higher if overclocked)... likely to the point that the i7-12700 will throttle and run more like a 12600 or even 12400. Also, as others have mentioned, you have pretty much zero upgrade path in any direction. RAM would require complete replacement to upgrade to 32gb (good luck recouping much by reselling the two naked OEM sticks) and the proprietary PSU wouldn't comfortably/reliably handle more than the included 3060 (if it even has more than a single 8-pin PCIe power connector).
Long-and-short... I wouldn't do it. You're paying for a CPU you're unlikely to get the actual rated performance from due to thermal throttling and you have zero meaningful upgrade path. I'd either build it myself or spend about the same for a 12400/3060 prebuilt from an SI that uses off-the-shelf parts.
Essentially, these appeal to be facelifted versions of the old "gaming" black and green HP chassis or or previous-gen Pavilion and Envy desktops with much better innards but still proprietary. The ton of USB-A + USB-C up front are a dead giveaway. The only HP desktop I would even consider touching is the bigger Omen.

You do come off slightly better buying this as opposed to building your own, but you'd end up with expandability and upgradability. Nice to know that it has two RAM sticks to start. But you're still stuck with an anemic undersized proprietary power supply, and a garbage unreplaceable proprietary motherboard which most likely has an extremely locked down bios with very few options. This HP is a good deal if you're one and only concern is saving money right this instant. But if you can save up a few dollars and go the DIY or pre-built route, you'll be far better off in the long term.
I have the envy te02. Highly recommended mostly because it uses standard atx power supply and uatx motherboard form factor. Lots of space in envy case. Just fits a 3 fan 3070ti.
