Review on Pavilion TG01 Professional Computer Made_By_HP Computers & Tablets for Desktops by Harry Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money in a compact form factor

I've been looking for the best value for my first mini PC for a long time and decided on this model based on the CUK Ryzen 5 I was very happy with the performance for everyday office use as well as media transcoder/server and digital photo editing. I went with 16GB Dual Channel RAM (Samsung) and added a 2TB NVMe drive to a 512GB NVMe SSD (WD SN730). One downside is that the second NVMe is on the bottom of the motherboard, so you have to remove the board to access it, and airflow is limited. I also decided to upgrade from a stock cooler to a Noctua low profile cooler, which is almost the same width as the entire board but fits well and is quiet. The PC box is a bit ugly and could have supported a few more USB ports, but overall I'm very happy with the price and performance of this PC.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Waiting too long
