Pros: -Powerful CPU -Powerful iGPU -AMD not vulnerable to Meltdown, L1TF, and MDS speculation vulnerabilities, amongst others -Fast NVMe M.2 SSD -Lots of USB 3.0 Ports -4 Memory Slots -Durable Shell -Quality Fit & Finish -Easy to access and service internals, e.g. easy to upgrade RAM -Fast 802.11AC Wireless (Wi-Fi 5) -Boots to Windows 10 in seconds -CAN run Crysis, Doom
Cons: -Fans may run excessively fast until updates are installed, especially graphics updates. HP confirmed it's not a heat issue but a fan control issue. -UEFI/BIOS is slow to flash update.
Overall Review: These are immense all-purpose mini PC's for business users -- great performance, reliability, quality, and features at market prices. The integrated Vega 11 graphics is far superior to comparable competitor's offerings. AMD has VERY good SMT (two-thread-execution per physical core), allowing these quad-core units to perform roughly like six-core units without SMT and even better at times. The cases are easy to get into and field-service parts like SSD and RAM. These of course use SODIMM DDR4 modules like laptops to save space. 8GB of RAM is just enough to run Windows 10 Pro x64 quite well for general users, although power users, heavy applications, and running databases like SQL would benefit from more RAM (we prefer to volume-purchase this module and add RAM modules as needed). There does appear to be a bug that many users have reported recently where fan speeds ramp up excessively even though heat isn't the issue -- HP is aware and I'm sure will have the issue addressed soon with a Softpaq. Overall, I highly recommend this particular model and really the entire Ryzen series of EliteDesk 705's so long as they include SSD's; don't bother with HDD's for boot drives anymore -- the difference is BREATHTAKING, especially once a machine is loaded up with many applications, user files, and software updates over time. We were actually able to upscale from previously using ProDesk 400's and 600's due to the competitive pricing of these models. Competitor CPU shortages have only made these models even more attractive. The SFF (Small Form Factor) version of these 705's are awesome as well, having the performance of a full 65W TDP CPU, containing more USB ports, and having two half-height PCI Express expansion slots (one x16 slot, one x1 slot)
