Are the processor and memory upgradeable?

4

Memory is upgradable to 16 GB per Best Buy website.

This reviewer says the CPU IS too…http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-wave-desktop-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-onyx-black/5595427.p?skuId=5595427

Apparently, there are versions that can come with an SSD, but this isn’t one of them.

On their website, it says this chassis is not designed for upgrades…I guess that means you can, but it isn’t recommended.

7

Would never consider a PC w/o an SSD for the OS drive. At least that is an option on other models.

8

Here is a link to the HP site. Looks like memory and CPU are upgradable but not Hard Drive. This is a killer for me because I’ve had to replace hard drives way more than CPUs and memory.

9

Check out this site, shows up to an i7 processor option, so I think it can be done.

They don’t show any HD upgrade options, but it’s a 7200 rpm SATA drive, you can certainly swap that out with anything SATA you’d like, including an SSD.

10

I’m in for one.
It has really good reviews by pro reviewers across YouTube.
Cost a good bit more for a new one on Amazon.

I’ve never had a problem with factory reconditioned. Be sure to register it. (I think HP off-shore tech support has really gone downhill in recent years.)

10 inches is pretty small but its cooled well and quiet… so thats good.

Here’s the specs from the HP website:

There is an M2 Socket that will probably support an SSD of some sort (it’s labeled as a “M” key, which should support a SATA or PCIe SSD stick) but it may be disabled by HP in this configuration.

The hard drive itself (from the picture on the deal post) looks like a normal 3.5" SATA drive, so that should be replaceable. Looks like there is only the single SATA port, however.

CPU is not soldered to the motherboard, so it should be upgradable. Definitely want to stick to the “T” processors (Intel’s designation for “power optimized lifestyle” processors, or low-power desktop CPUs), since you won’t be able to upgrade the cooling without some serious work, and the external power supply won’t be able to handle anything else.

HP will almost certainly not upgrade the BIOS to work with the new Kaby Lake processors, so this starts out being a generation behind.

Two DDR4 DIMMs for memory upgrades, and it’s limited to 8GB per, so only 16GB max, which is probably fine for most users. Nice to see that they only use 1 of the 2 slots, so you don’t need to buy a full kit to max this out – just the 1 extra DIMM, which should be about $60 or so on Amazon/Newegg.

Honestly, it’s not a bad little PC at all for $300, especially if the M2 slot is left usable.

What is the display port? I need to make sure that my older display will interface with the display port.

13

Display port can be converted to any old or new type display using a display port adapter like this one

https://www.amazon.com/CableDeconn-Multi-Function-Displayport-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0192Y9XSE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1500057943&sr=8-3&keywords=displayport+adapter

14

I have the same question. What is the ‘Display Port’?

found this as a gen search… “The HP DisplayPort provides high performance digital connectivity for use at work or home. Designed to replace the DVI, VGA, and HDMI connectors, DisplayPort can accommodate audio, video, Blu-ray Disc content, WQXGA+ Resolution, and other support features.”

An adapter is needed ti convert to DVI-I, DVI-D or VGA… it says…

15

From what I’ve been reading online about this computer, the M.2 slot will only take NVMe SSD drives and the installation screw is not included nor is it a standardized screw. So you’ll have to be very careful about what you do with it.

(Also, the video card option is custom for this machine and can only be harvested from another Wave. So upgrading that won’t be easy, either)

16

I got one of these during the last woot of them. Upgrading the hard drive to an SSD was complete hell because opening this thing is kind of a process. The memory, CPU and hard drive are all upgradable once you crack it apart. It has an m2 slot I installed an 860 Pro in. I didn’t bother upgrading the memory or CPU but it looks like a pretty standard socket that’ll take any CPU within the TDP spec of the machine, however, the DDR4 SODIMMs are single sided, single rank. Those are incredibly rare…the only other machines I’ve seen those in are Ultrabooks.

17

I feel like everyone’s kind of missing the point of these. They have plenty of spec for their intended use. Plop it next to your TV in the living room and use it for a media box. Make it a Plex server. Google things from the comfort of your couch. Play some tunes while you answer your e-mails.

If you want a hardcore gaming PC or your next rendering workhorse, build one. Don’t try to stuff it into a B&O speaker.
