The Ryzen 3 4300U APU is good for regular computer usage. Having four cores (and threads total), it can do a good job of handling all of the parallel requests that go into visiting a webpage. Each CPU core has access to 64 KiB, 256 KiB, and 1.5 MiB L3 cache (multiply the cache sizes by four to get the total), and two channels of DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM RAM. The system should come with two 4 GiB RAM modules installed, given you dual-channel memory, but if you buy used, it is possible that you might not have the default configuration. The M.2 NVMe drive and memory aren't soldiered onto the motherboard, so you can always upgrade or replace the RAM or storage space. You could add in a SATA SSD, which are the cheapest type of solid-state storage. Or if you have a SATA model, the main upgrade you could ever make would be to switch to using the NVMe channel as your boot device, remembering NVMe drives have a direct path to the CPU allowing for access times in microseconds, compared to milliseconds for anything on a SATA bus. In the default configuration you are feeding the CPU cores access to fast memory, which is all you could really want for a computer that will not slow down over time, and this one shouldn't (NVMe version). Even as Windows offloads more work on the the GPU, AMD has included more than what we can expect to be a baseline for Microsoft to set in the reasonable future. It does have a TPM 2.0 device integrated into the chipset, and in another M.2PCIe lane there is a 802.11ac WiFi card with 2x2 antennas, and Bluetooth support. I looked at people gaming on the Ryzen 3 4300U APU, and was surprised that it is possible in most games, while getting 30–70 FPS, which you can see lots of examples of on YouTube. The R3 4300U is built on the 7 nm process node and as such really sips energy, and this is actually a notebook chip. It will only use about 15 W under fill load, and a fraction of that when idle. The rest of the components will use much more, mainly the screen, and it comes with a 90 W power brick, but in practice the machine probably uses less than half of that. I got this one for a retiree, and they appreciate the 1080p resolution stretched out over 24-inches. And I think even 1080p at larger sizes would be appreciated by people with poor eyesight. For their use case, streaming videos, visiting websites, videoconferencing, it does a great job. Most video streams are offloaded on to the GPU engine and a lot of Windows 11 user-interface work is offloaded on the the GPU as well, leaving the CPU cores room to deal with other things. Pretty good for their music, video, and video chatting needs, out-of-the-box..
