Snapshot
The 30-Second Version
A pretty face with a potato for a brain. The Celeron J4025 makes this a $680 web browser, and not a fast one.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Clean, space-saving all-in-one design 70th
- 16GB of RAM is generous for this class 67th
- 512GB SSD is a solid amount of storage
- Includes keyboard, mouse, and mousepad
Cons
- Celeron J4025 is painfully slow
- Windows 11 in S Mode is restrictive
- Price is high for the performance
- GPU is a non-starter for anything visual
The proof
Performance
The performance story here is rough. The Celeron J4025 is a 2-core chip that lands in the 7th percentile for CPUs, which is one of the worst we've seen in our database. It'll handle a browser tab or two and a Word doc, but don't expect to multitask. The 16GB of RAM is a nice surprise, but it's like putting premium tires on a go-kart. The integrated UHD 600 graphics are also a weak spot, so forget anything beyond basic video streaming.

vs Competition
Compared to something like the Dell Tower Plus or even a budget Lenovo, this HP gets smoked on raw performance. The MSI Aegis and ASUS ROG are gaming machines, so they're not even in the same conversation. The Apple Mac Studio is a different universe entirely. The real competitor here is a cheap Chromebox or a used business desktop, both of which would run circles around this Celeron for less money.

Price
Value & Pricing
At $680 USD, this is a tough sell. You're paying for the convenience of an all-in-one, but the processor is so weak that the value proposition falls apart. For that money, you could get a much faster mini PC and a separate monitor, or a laptop with a far better chip. This only makes sense if you absolutely need the AIO form factor and do almost nothing demanding.

Overview
The HP 22" All-in-One is a classic case of specs sheet whiplash. The listing screams about an Intel N100 with 16GB of RAM, but the actual headline spec is a Celeron J4025, a chip that belongs in a museum. You're getting a clean, space-saving desktop for light tasks, but you're paying a premium for a very weak engine.
Common Questions
Q: Can this run Windows 11 well?
It runs Windows 11 in S Mode, which is a locked-down version that only allows apps from the Microsoft Store. You can switch out of S Mode for free, but the Celeron J4025 will still struggle with anything beyond basic tasks. Don't expect a smooth experience.
Q: Is this good for a home office?
Only if your home office work is email, light web browsing, and maybe a spreadsheet. The weak CPU means video calls, multiple tabs, and any real multitasking will feel sluggish. For serious work, look for something with a stronger processor.
Q: Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
The 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD are already decent for this class, but all-in-ones are notoriously hard to upgrade. You'd likely have to open the whole unit, and even then, the CPU is the bottleneck. Don't buy this planning to upgrade it.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a computer that can handle more than one thing at a time, this isn't it. Go get a mini PC with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 and a separate 24" monitor. You'll spend the same or less and get triple the performance.
Verdict
Skip it. The HP 22" AIO looks nice on a desk, but the Celeron J4025 is a dealbreaker. You'll be frustrated within a year as Windows updates and basic apps get heavier. If you want an all-in-one, find one with at least an i3 or Ryzen 3. This one is a trap for people who don't read the fine print.
