HP Envy 700-210 Desktop PC

HP Envy 700-210 Highlights -

Pros: Decent specifications. Plenty of USB ports. Bluetooth support.

Cons: Graphics card not suited for high-end gaming.

HP Envy 700-210 belongs to the HP Envy 700 series of desktop computers. It has a modern tower design and is powered by an AMD processor with 8GB of memory and 1TB storage space. Unlike the All-In-Desktops (AIO) like Lenovo Ideacentre C560 or HP Pavilion 18-5010, a separate monitor screen is needed for use with HP Envy 700-210.

Performance - HP Envy 700-210 is powered by AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-6700 Accelerated Processor operating at 3.7 GHz. The processor incorporates Turbo technology, that can temporarily bump core frequency up to 4.3 GHz. The processor is not as fast as the Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor as shown in the benchmarking data compiled by Futuremark (below). But the processor is still very capable of carrying out business productivity tasks with ease. HP Envy 700 series also comes in another model that is powered by Intel Core i5 - HP Envy 700-230.

Storage & Memory - The desktop comes with 8GB of internal memory (expandable to 32GB) and 1TB hard drive (7200 RPM). This should be sufficient for both productivity tasks and casual gaming.
Graphics & Sound - HP Envy 700-210 comes with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8670D graphics card. It has no dedicated memory and thus depends on the speed and size of the desktop's internal memory. Futuremark has benchmarked the performance of AMD Radeon HD 8670D against some popular graphics cards and found it to be average at best. It may struggle playing modern games on high resolution.
For sound, the desktop features Beats Audio for a rich audio experience.
