The 15.6-inch HP is a bargain for performance hunters due to its 6-core Ryzen 5 5500U CPU. Daring users bothered by its measly 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD can try to pry open the bottom of the laptop and stall higher capacity modules.

Same laptop, but with Athlon Gold 3150U, goes for $479 here.

It's $490+ here, in Indonesia, what are you talking about?
Have a 2018 version for office stuff and it is worse PC i have got, ever.
HP do not upgrade the drivers for it so it crashes - specifically the AMD gpu -when W10 upgrades versions. AMD have to be disabled.

WDDM drivers don't "crash" since Windows 8. Only a graceful state recovery is allowed; otherwise, no WHQL signature will be issued. And I know for a FACT yours is signed.
Oh, and if you want frequent (read: "Game Optimized") driver updates, well then either buy a DEDICATED gaming GPU, or a ProBook which gets them on a fixed cadence (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4). In other words, pay up!
