| HP EliteDesk 705 G4 (AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE with Radeon RX Vega 11 GPU) may fail with an intermittent black screen after the splash screen. There are three options in the BIOS firmware Advanced Secure Boot Configuration screen, in the section "Configure Legacy Support and Secure Boot". Select the third option, "Legacy Support Disable and Secure Boot Disable". This will prevent the BIOS from performing legacy option ROM initialization on the GPU prior to boot, which interferes with the normal initialization performed by the Linux amdgpu driver. | HP EliteDesk 705 G4 (AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE with Radeon RX Vega 11 GPU) and HP EliteDesk 705 G5 may fail with an intermittent black screen after the splash screen.

The 5V power line can be used from the pins for USB support, so it's possible to put a storage media like HDD/SDD into this unit. Upgrade of WiFi/BT is possible through internal mPCI port. Build in DVI/DP with audio out option makes this small system a perfect candidate into retro-gaming systems up to the late 1990s. It's successor the S720 is much smaller in design, more powerfull but in todays costs much overestimated.

It emulates all 16bit systems very well, N64 emulation is compareable to Pi4, offers full support of WINE and works well with titles like ''Age of Empires'', ''Heroes of Might and Magic'' and a lot of puzzle games. DOOM3 through DHEW3 runs fluent. No KODI support! No H.264 and H.265 support! | |
