Why this score

The score adds up these parts. Each part has a weight. A part counts as the average of its sources, pulled toward 80 when there are few sources.

  1. AI power

    50% weightcounts as 77.5

    Average of 2 sources: 76.3

  2. Experts

    30% weightcounts as 79.9

    Average of 3 sources: 79.9

  3. Users

    20% weightcounts as 80.0

    No sources found yet. No data yet. This part counts as 80.

Good: 3 reviews and buyer ratings.

80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Notes

A business workstation in 2.9 L: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, optional 10 GbE through a Flex IO module, and only about 5 W at idle. It has the same chip and 256 GB/s as the other Strix Halo boxes, so LLM speed is the same, but it costs more than the gaming-style mini PCs. Fans get loud under full load.

Notebookcheck's 79% was read via Starry Hope; the Notebookcheck page could not be read. Notebookcheck tested the 64 GB model, HotHardware the 128 GB model. Ethernet: HP QuickSpecs v12 says the integrated RJ-45 is 2.5GbE and 10GBase-T is a Flex IO option; some retailer listings say Gigabit. Starry Hope's table says 'Thunderbolt: No' while HP QuickSpecs names 2x Thunderbolt 4. Weight: HP says starting at 2.3 kg; Starry Hope says 2.65 kg. Noise: Starry Hope relays up to 70 dB under maximum load from one tester; not used. Power: HP QuickSpecs show 177.7 W 'busy max' for the 128 GB build; HotHardware measured 256 W at the wall in a power-virus test. Two speed runs from another Strix Halo box were dropped. GPU memory follows AMD's Variable Graphics Memory rule for every box with this chip (75% of RAM: 48 GB on 64 GB, 96 GB on 128 GB); tuned Linux figures are in the GPU memory note. FP16 TFLOPS is AMD's figure for the chip.
