Review on πŸ’» High-Performance HP Pavillion TP01-066 Gaming Desktop PC with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and AMD Radeon RX 550/2GB by Karoly Reddick

Good price but Linux and configuration issues

The speed you get from Ryzen 7 and the m.2 drive is great, but there are some issues with this PSU: The PSU is quite small. That's enough to run a configured system, but you probably won't be able to add a better graphics card since there are NO remaining power connections from an available power source. Replacing the power supply is possible, but you need to find one that has the correct motherboard connectors. AMD has *not* released Linux drivers for the Ryzen7 5700G yet. This means you are stuck in a normal video that may be too slow to play. . Whether you want to add a powerful graphics card, additional storage drives, or use any flavor of Linux, this is going to cause you a lot of trouble.

Pros
  • Many fit
Cons
  • Some difficulties
