This would be a sweeter deal if it came with 32gb.

30% better performing CPU, but only 256GB SSD. Still a hot deal on a high performance productivity setup with 32GB DDR5.

granted any on-chip GPU is going to be limited to less demanding games/resolutions. but some people do just want to play fortnite or overwatch (or league or minecraft etc) at 1080p
not sure if trustworthy but this video (the last 1/3 is the games) shows framerates in some games for the 8700G vs the i7-14700K which I believe has the same on-chip GPU as the i7-14700, and frame rates on the 8700G are much much higher...

EG Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, 1080p resolution, low detail settings, the 8700G average framerate is 72 frames per second, and the i7-14700K is only 14 frames per second.
demanding gamers will surely still be needing a PC with a separate graphics card GPU but for less demanding gamers, the 8700G's on-chip GPU is pretty impressive.
I believe Intel's recently announced next CPU generation (codename Panther Lake) will be a big step forward in their on-chip GPU capability. Will be interested to see if they can dethrone AMD in the on-chip GPU arena.

Edit: To reply to your edit, yeah I'm not surprised that the 8700G has better onboard graphics. Intel has fallen behind in that regard. Again though, this one and the one I linked were never intended as gaming platforms. In pure performance outside of graphics the 14700 is still quite a beast.
You will struggle to fit anything other than a single fan GPU in these things.

The 8700G's value is really only solid for people who fit the niche of wanting some gaming capability, but aren't needing discrete-GPU-level performance. Sorta always been the case with AMD "APUs". They're impressive for what the are and AMD would have us believe the market is a pretty big "niche" but I'm not so sure.
I just think it's worth noting that using an Intel CPU with their very basic "Intel UHD" on-chip GPU essentially takes even basic gaming off-the-table.
With some basic skills and a time committment, one could surely put together a system with a used GPU for $600 that would substantially outperform the 8700G in gaming but that is not for everybody.
You can follow the link and look at the image of the back of this unit. The screw pattern and the exhaust fan of the included psu is 99% likely a proprietary PSU.
If this is bought with the intention of replacing the PSU, it would take a SFX PSU. Standard ATX won't fit.

I got a couple of the "refurb" HPs about 3-4 years ago. For the price I paid they were fine. (I think I paid like $200 for each one and they both had 12gb ram and 5600g CPUs?)
the psu's were proprietary AND the connectors were weird. I ended up putting my old 3070 in one of them but I had to hijack the sata power supply cables to do it. (I was lucky that one had a 400w gold psu in it, barely enough for a 3070). It might not have been ideal but it did work. But if you ever wanted to swap out motherboards, I don't think you could easily do it.

Use Case:
Prebuilt: better PSU and probably more space. Unless the HP comes with a GPU it probably has a 180W PSU. You'll have to buy an OEM upgrade, adding to cost. These cases are small and you're pretty much limited to 2 slot, 2 fan cards.
Build your own: maximum customization. Microcenter has good deals.
Mini PC: If you're not gaming, I just don't think it's worth getting a tower anymore. The better Beelink and Kamrui mini PCs are plenty fast. Also, the Mac mini M4 is an amazing computer for the price and it's frequently on sale for $450-500.

Usually I'll relegate older hardware to other uses. Spare pc, test pc to experiment on, NAS, box to do firmware updates to other devices, etc.
Mini pc's lack much IO other than usb.
