Even for just an office pc it's a huge premium for the small size, we've seen many 5600g refurb desktops for 1/3 the price that already come with ram and ssd.
7940HS 30565
5600g 19851
guess mixed with 5800HS which is slightly faster than 5600g

But not a bad price for what you're getting. Max TDP of 65W. Not bad.

I bought it a week ago directly from GMKtec's website on AliExpress for $375.55, when there were some great $50 coupons. But that deal is not there now.

I'm not going to comment on the price. But about performance it's beyond my expectation.
The most demanding use case for me is llama 3 and it's incredibly fast - 64GB ram with 16 allocated to video.
Apparently it can easily be pushed to 85w and 3Ghz but I haven't tried it.
I occasionally play Black Mesa in 4K and it's great (60hz). CS 2 in HD without any issue as well.
Manjaro distro works perfectly out of the box.
I also have a 5600g and it's night and day...

That site gives the 5600g +3% effective speed over this 7940hs.
That's not to say the 5600g is faster in all respects, it's obviously not, but the gpu in this will seriously limit what it's capable of.
When looking it up I also sought to compare the GPU effective speed and found this:
"AMD's Radeon 780M integrated graphics get close to GTX 1650"
So basically not that much above the integrated graphics in the 5600g, but with a 5600g desktop you're not limited to the built in GPU.
I have two hp desktops with 5600g and 5700g, and rx5500 and 6600xt video, both are better gaming systems and the cheaper one was only $200 as a refurb and it came with ram and ssd and windows license, that's not a barebones price. Even the cheap one came with a 400w power supply, so it's not limited to the slow video card it came with either.
I'm sure some people will have special use cases where video speed plays no role, but that's probably not most people.

It would be totally fine for some types of games, but I wasn't satisfied with either streaming service I tried with fast first person shooters. Better than nothing, but not as good as a cheap video card running the game locally like a 6600xt.
