I have been using a Gateway all in one touch screed, (They are no longer in business), and have been very happy.
I've had Windows 10 installed and a couple of other service call's in ten years.
Have been very fortunate to have a computer guy who is fantastic and only charges $30.00
for a house call.

Acer took over from Gateway.

I am looking at a couple of HP computers on sale at Costco to replace my crappy Dell XPS desktop.
The first one is an HP Pavilion Desktop - 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10400F with AMD Radeon RX 550 on sale for $600.

The second is the HP Pavilion Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with integrated graphics for $500.

The main differences between them from what I can see is the Intel i5 processor vs. the AMD Ryzen 5 and the AMD graphics card with the Intel i5 vs. integrated graphics on the Ryzen 5. From what I'm finding the AMD Ryzen has 6 cores and 12 threads whereas the Intel has 6 cores but only 6 threads. Seems the AMD Ryzen would be better for gaming but I'm more interested in photo and video processing and a dedicated graphics card is better than the integrated graphics. BTW, I have two monitors connected to the computer, one HDMI and the other VGA.
So I'm soliciting comments about these two machines or should I look for something else? Would the Intel i5 be worth the extra $100 over the Ryzen?
Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

Been using HP for over 25 yrs. now without a hitch. Currently using the HP2710m with 27" full HD monitor for last 10 yrs for all photo processing and no complaints.

My desktop is eight years old about two years ago I upgraded the mother board and the AMD chip I have AND Radeon 6700 graphic cards two of them twinned up and running 64 gb of memory always used Windows and only ever had two blue screens of death running I tunes, removed the program normal service resumed. Had different pcs over a period of 16 years never had a problem with them always used AMD chips I believe they are faster than itel and never Apple machines I think their prices are a rip off.

How ever what ever type of computer you have your heart set get it, as you will never be satisfied if you don,t.

I view Ugly Hedgehog in G-mail. For those of you not familiar with G-mail it opens with three tabs - Primary, Social and Promotions. I am used to opening the Primary tab to view recent emails I've received and usually don't bother with other two. For some unknown reason which I have just discovered today a lot of the responses to UH posts have been showing up in the Social tab. There are six responses to other emails I commented on. I'll have to keep in mind this is happening.
