I just bought an HP 24-G020 all in one computer. It came with Windows 10. I simply use it for watching videos and social media at night before bed. However, I am disappointed in the performance of the computer even for these simple tasks. The computer has several different options for processors. I chose the AMD A8 7410. I could have went with the Intel J3710. I've tried comparing the two processors on websites, but strangely enough there is not much information on the J3710.

Should I take this computer back and get one with the Intel J3710 processor? Or would I get the same lackluster performance that I am getting already? The only thing I intend to use this computer for is watching YouTube documentaries, Amazon Prime movies, Facebook, and reading PDFs.

Any input would be appreciated.

Your specs aren't the problem. You should go to control panel -> Uninstall a program and then uninstall anything that you don't need. And then you should download something like Malware Bytes and do a thorough scan.
My opinion:
Core i3 6100 - $120
H110 ITX motherboard - $60
4GB DDR4 - $20
ITX case - $40
Small power supply - $30

$270 HTPC, just add operating system and screen of your choice

There's nothing (non-gaming) that the above machine shouldn't handle with ease for the next 5 years.

Yeah bro those all-in-ones are crap. If you use it like a TV then a regular computer will work. Just buy an ATX case, i5 cpu, go LGA 1151 Skylake you get DDR4 then you can buy any size screen you want, ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
