I’m searching for an affordable development machine suitable for different tasks. I found this listing and think the price fits what I need. Regarding the processor, I’m not familiar with Ryzen chips yet, especially the Ax series, and I’m not sure how they compare to Intel’s options.

It's poor quality, similar to some of the Core2 Quad chips Intel produced in 2008. Zen represented a major leap for AMD, as it matched Intel's performance level after ten years. A budget i5-2400 would surpass it significantly, and you could obtain it at a lower cost. Consider a refurbished Dell Optiplex.
I’d rather skip using HP systems and opt for something else, but appreciate the alternative. I checked out their site first—mostly laptops and really expensive desktops like the FX-4100 at $600, which is quite steep.
I think this suggests you've faced a disappointing outcome, though in tech there aren't necessarily strong distinctions between good and bad brands. Most pre-built systems rely on components from many suppliers rather than being fully integrated.
