In the latest edition of Computer Active they have reviewed the Palicomp AMD Cobra and have given it a 5 Star rating.
The cost of the unit reviewed is £399.99 and comes with 16G ram, 1Tb ssd 4 usb3 ports and 2 usb2 plus 1 x hdmi. Loaded with Windows 11. It has a 6 core AMD Ryzen 5 5600g processor.
Note - it doesn't have a WiFi connection so you would either have to use an ethernet connection or obtain a WiFi card.

100% SSD, if your system hasn't got one installed already. That, along with a reinstall, and you will think you have a flying machine.
