This stylish HP OmniDesk Ryzen 7 desktop just dropped to $790

I've spotted one of the best desktop PC deals I've seen, with the HP OmniDesk desktop now $790 (was $899) at Amazon. It's a solid pick for a home office setup, a family desktop, or anyone replacing an aging pre-built tower who doesn't want to spend into four figures to do it.

It's built around AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G with Radeon 780M graphics built in, which means you're getting genuinely capable everyday performance, and even some casual gaming headroom, without needing to budget for a separate graphics card.

This configuration pairs that processor with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD, giving you a sensible amount of headroom for multitasking and storage without needing an immediate upgrade. Interestingly, Best Buy are selling the 16GB model for $800 right now.

Today's top HP desktop deal

The Ryzen 7 8700G is a strong choice for a desktop in this category. It's an 8-core chip with integrated Radeon 780M graphics, which puts it a step ahead of the entry-level Ryzen 5 and Core i3/i5 desktops that typically populate this price range.

Overall, you get more multitasking headroom and graphics performance that can handle light gaming and creative work like photo editing without a discrete GPU.

32GB of DDR5 RAM is a comfortable starting point for browser-heavy multitasking, office work, and creative software. And the 1TB SSD gives you plenty of room for a full OS install, applications, and files before you'd need to think about expanding storage.

The gray wood finish is a deliberate design choice worth calling out — rather than the black-and-RGB aesthetic most budget towers default to, this one is built to blend into a home office or living space. It's a small thing, but it matters if you don't want your desktop looking like hardware and more like furniture.

It's worth noting that it's well-suited to office work, media, and light gaming. However, if demanding GPU-accelerated creative work is your priority, you'll want to look at a machine with dedicated graphics instead.

But for an understated desktop tower with the power to breeze through day-to-day business and creative tasks, this is one of the best deals I've seen.
