You need to add a blue door t-shirt to the mix. "I'm So Old I Remember The Blue Door!"

[aquatechie]

I'm with you, Patrick. Not labeling the USB spec on each port is inexcusable in this day and age.

We managed a few units of this model last week for a company and it came with the M.2 + 2.5 tray - we didn’t ask for it and I think we didn’t pay extra for it.

Talking about power adapters, I think it's easy to find some 120w Hp laptop chargers on ebay for just $2x, those would be good alternatives for this desktop.

Hahaha. Patrick's 1980-90s boombox going about in the hood pose, 9:43

Greetings, at timestamp 4:26, you mentioned the NVIDIA GeForce 1660Ti 6GB GPU option. I was unable to find the part number for this graphics card online, and where to order this part. Any assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

[Airbag]

I'd love to see how they connect the discrete GPU in there..
Also, please include idle/load power usage at the wall like you used to 🙏

[bobwong]

👍👍👍👍👍Thanks, really like your passion & enthusiasm!

[snoflahke]

from the hp website, there is none in stock. the 805 is available but try to figure out how to get one with the discrete gpu? i cant figure it out.

Love watching these, would be interesting to see a review on the MINIX systems they have some pretty nice looking min computers for a pretty low price their high end ones I think are around $500

[jeffmofo]

YT Product reviewers should adopt the Home Shopping Network style/approach
lol
The way he presents it comes across as HSN, the way he's holding the product.
Maybe vana white.

[denverag]

Cant wait for the updated 805 G6 with 5700GE and RTX 3060 or 6600xt replacing the older 1660TI
Also wouldnt mind getting an 805 G7 with whatever rembrandt is bringing in 65w, hopefully 20+ RDNA2 compute units

[MarkConstable]

What are the 10 GbE ethernet options for this device?

[OTechnology]

How did they have a 10900K option for this system lol...

[denverag]

Pro-tip
When ordering from these companies, you should min-max your build, get the best processor that is within your need, then order the smallest SSD, RAM and add the smallest HDD. This ***should*** allow you to upgrade it later. Note that a 2TB 2.5 inch SSD from Samsung can be had fro $170, so adding an HDD might sound silly, but if you need storage, 2.5 inch is a fast cheap way to add storage

Edit, i havent tested this on every model, and we havent used HP in several years, but i have not yet had an issue with upgrading these tiny desktops

[gonace]

I tried configuring one of these but there was no alternative for an additional network interface, or a NIC option for one of the "flexible ports". So I have no idea how to buy one of these with multiple NIC ports. Maybe it's not available in Sweden.... :(

The only flexible port potions were "VGA Port", "DisplayPort port (v2)", "HDMI Port (v2)" and "Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 2"

[trevormeeks]

The g7 one of these plays all my ps2 GameCube dreamcast and atomiswave games with no problems

[lost_pictures]

Could be an Interesting Home Server Client

[Waaaaaaaaaaaang]

Wait. This thing has a dedicated GPU option? Where will it go? Is it MXM or PCIe?

Also, pity about the weak-sauce speakers. Having you carry the hardware like the John Cusack boombox has become an STH hardware review tradition.

[adrianteri]

Patrick a request to have the reviewed Tiny PCs specs in a comparison page or even spreadsheet? If this exists I would highly appreciate if someone would point me to it.
