HP All in One 22", Celeron, 16GB, 256GB SSD, Cashmere White

The HP All-in-One 22 pairs 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD with an Intel Celeron J4025 that ranks in the 1st percentile of our database. That CPU is one of the slowest we've tracked, and the gaming score of 8.7 out of 100 confirms this isn't a machine for anything beyond basic office work. At 20,399 MXN, you're paying for the clean all-in-one design and Windows 11 Pro, not for performance.

Let's talk about that Celeron J4025. Two cores, 2.0GHz, no turbo boost to speak of. In our database, this processor ranks in the 1st percentile, which means 99% of the CPUs we've tested in this category are faster. That's not a typo. The Intel UHD Graphics 600 integrated GPU isn't doing any heavy lifting either, landing at the 36th percentile. You can forget about gaming entirely, the gaming score of 8.7 out of 100 is one of the lowest we've seen. Even light photo editing will test your patience.

The 16GB of DDR4 RAM is the one bright spot here, sitting at the 32nd percentile. It's not a standout, but it's enough to keep a dozen browser tabs and a few Office apps from grinding to a halt. The 256GB SSD helps with boot times and app launches compared to a spinning hard drive, but at the 13th percentile for storage, you're getting the bare minimum. Windows 11 Pro will eat a chunk of that before you install anything. The 21.5-inch Full HD VA panel is fine for documents and video calls, and the anti-glare coating is a nice touch for bright offices. Just don't expect vibrant colors or wide viewing angles.

Stacked against the competition, this HP is in a different league entirely, and not in a good way. The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tower Gen 2 and Apple Mac Studio M5 Max are workstation-class machines with CPUs that would make this Celeron cry. The MSI MEG Vision X AI and ASUS ROG NUC are gaming-focused powerhouses where the HP's 8.7 gaming score looks like a rounding error. Even the CLX SET TGMSETRTU5204BM, which isn't exactly a household name, offers dramatically more processing power. The one area where the HP holds its own is simplicity. It's a single unit with a built-in display, no separate tower, no cable spaghetti. But that's a convenience tax, not a performance advantage. You're trading raw capability for a clean desk, and at this price, that's a steep trade.

At 20,399 MXN, this HP is priced like a mid-range all-in-one but performs like a budget one. The value equation is tricky because you're paying for the form factor, the clean white design, and the convenience of a prebuilt Windows 11 Pro machine with a keyboard and mouse in the box. But the CPU is so far behind the curve that even basic tasks will feel sluggish compared to similarly priced laptops or mini PCs. The 256GB SSD means you'll likely need external storage within months. If you value desk aesthetics and only need a machine for email, web browsing, and video calls, the price is tolerable. If you need any real computing power, your money goes much further elsewhere.

The HP All-in-One 22 is a machine that looks better on a desk than it does on a spec sheet. The headline numbers are a 16GB DDR4 RAM kit and a 256GB SSD, which sounds reasonable until you meet the Intel Celeron J4025 doing the actual thinking. That CPU lands in the 1st percentile of our database, which is a polite way of saying it's one of the slowest processors we've tracked in an all-in-one. For a $20,399 MXN asking price, you're getting a clean white chassis, a 21.5-inch Full HD anti-glare display, and Windows 11 Pro, but the engine under the hood is closer to a budget Chromebook than a desktop workhorse.

The 4.6-star customer rating suggests buyers who knew what they were getting are mostly happy. And that's the key phrase: knew what they were getting. This is a machine for light email, web browsing, and maybe a spreadsheet or two. The 256GB SSD is in the 13th percentile, which means you'll be leaning on cloud storage or external drives sooner than you'd like. The port selection is a mixed bag too, with USB-C, four USB-A ports, HDMI, and Ethernet all present, but the overall port score sits at the 38th percentile. It's not a disaster, just not generous.

Skip this if you do anything beyond the absolute basics. The Celeron J4025's 1st percentile CPU ranking means photo editing, video streaming with multiple tabs open, or any kind of creative work will feel like wading through molasses. The 256GB SSD at the 13th percentile fills up fast, and the 8.7 gaming score rules out even casual games. If you need a machine for a student, a content creator, or anyone who multitasks heavily, look for something with at least a Core i5 or Ryzen 5. The port selection at the 38th percentile is also limiting if you plan to connect multiple peripherals or external displays. This is a single-purpose machine for light office work, and that's about it.

The HP All-in-One 22 is a machine with a clear identity crisis. It wants to be a sleek, modern desktop for home offices and small businesses, but the Celeron J4025 processor is a relic that belongs in a much cheaper device. The 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD are fine for light use, but the 1st percentile CPU ranking is a dealbreaker for anyone who multitasks beyond a few browser tabs. The 4.6-star rating tells us that people who bought it for basic tasks are satisfied, and if that's you, it'll do the job. But for 20,399 MXN, we'd expect at least a mid-range processor. This is a case where the form factor is doing all the heavy lifting, and the internals are just along for the ride.
