Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Dell is $50 more for a 1 generation newer processor (15% faster, new gen integrated graphics). Honestly probably unnecessary for you, and Acer makes more sense. Maybe someone else can weigh in.

HP 22-inch All-in-One Desktop Computer, AMD Athlon Silver 3050U Processor, 4 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home (22-dd0010, White), Snow White - $398
https://www.amazon.com/HP-22-inch-Computer-Processor-22-dd0010/dp/B0849P8D69/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Is this worthwhile as a home computer upgrade for a unit nearing its Bat Mitzva?

I assume @Yisroel Tech would not approve:

No. It's just NOT GOOD period. A 4 GB RAM laptop nowadays is a sin to buy...

Indeed, and the CPU is also mediocre.

IMHO don't buy such a weak computer. It's a low-power processor and a mediocre 4 GB of RAM.

Looking for a business desktop. Must have TPM and Windows 10 Pro.

Was looking at https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/black-friday-deals/xps-desktop/spd/xps-8940-desktop/smx8490w11ph3707

Trying to understand the differences between XPS, Vostro and OptiPlex. XPS with seemingly better specs seems priced lower. What am I missing?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
