HP 24-cr0000a 24-cr0420 2025, Ryzen 3 7320U, 8GB, 256GB SSD, Shell White

The HP 24-cr0420 is a budget all-in-one with a nice touchscreen but weak internals. 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD put it near the bottom of our rankings for memory and storage. It's fine for basic tasks at $670, but you're paying for the form factor, not performance.

The Ryzen 3 7320U is a 4-core chip that handles everyday tasks without throwing a tantrum. Web browsing, spreadsheets, streaming, all fine. But push it with heavier multitasking or anything creative and you'll feel the ceiling fast. The 8GB of RAM is the real bottleneck here, sitting in the 16th percentile. Chrome with a dozen tabs plus a video call will have you watching that memory fill up. The 256GB SSD boots Windows 11 quickly, but it's one of the smallest drives we've seen in this category, 13th percentile. You'll be leaning on cloud storage or an external drive before long. The integrated Radeon graphics are fine for video playback but land in the 27th percentile overall, so don't expect any gaming beyond solitaire or very light indie titles.

Stacked against something like the Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra, this HP isn't even in the same conversation, but that's also a machine costing several times more and aimed at professionals. The more realistic comparison is against budget desktops like the Dell Desktop ECT1250 or entry-level towers from iBUYPOWER and MSI. Those will generally give you more upgradeability and better raw specs for the money. The HP's advantage is the integrated touchscreen and zero cable clutter. If you don't need the all-in-one form factor, a traditional desktop will almost always beat this on value. The Lenovo Legion and MSI Aegis are gaming machines, so they're not direct competitors, but they highlight how much more horsepower exists at similar or slightly higher price points.

At $670 USD, this is a tough sell unless you specifically want an all-in-one with a touchscreen. You're paying for the form factor and the display, not the internals. A similarly priced laptop or a small desktop plus a separate monitor would get you more RAM, more storage, and a faster processor. But if desk space is tight and you want one clean unit that just works for basic tasks, the price isn't outrageous. Just know you're buying convenience, not performance.

The HP 24-cr0420 is a budget all-in-one that looks clean on a desk and handles the basics without drama. You get a 23.8-inch Full HD touchscreen, a Ryzen 3 7320U, 8GB of DDR5, and a 256GB SSD in a tidy shell white chassis. It's built for email, web browsing, video calls, and light office work, nothing more.

But the specs tell a story of compromise. In our database, this thing lands in the 13th percentile for storage and 16th for RAM. That's rough. HP is betting you'll trade performance for simplicity and a touchscreen, and for some people that math works out fine.

Skip this if you need any real computing power. If you edit photos or video, run virtual machines, do any kind of development work, or just like having 30 browser tabs open, the 8GB of RAM and weak integrated graphics will frustrate you daily. Also skip it if you want to upgrade components down the road, all-in-ones like this are basically sealed boxes. And if you don't specifically need a touchscreen, you can get a much more capable traditional desktop for the same money.

This is a machine for someone who wants a simple, clean computer for email, web browsing, video calls, and light document work. Parents setting up a family computer in the kitchen, students who just need something for online classes, or anyone who hates cable clutter and wants a touchscreen. If that's you, it'll do the job. If you need to edit video, run demanding software, or keep 40 browser tabs open, this isn't your machine.
