PLE Computers Home Ryzen APU Force

$809 TINYURL.COM/APC463-PLE

Looking for a basic home PC? This system aims to fill that need. At the heart of this system is a Ryzen APU. A quad-core CPU with the best integrated graphics processor currently available, meaning it actually has some gaming chops (RX 550 performance levels) if you’d like to game on the cheap.

The memory and mass storage are a little disappointing, though. The OS drive being a HDD is a little passé. If space isn’t of concern, a 240GB SSD can be selected instead, at no extra cost, which we highly recommend.

The 4GB of memory is the bare minimum for light tasks. If gaming or any multitasking is on the cards, the $54 upgrade option to 8GB of faster 2666MHz RAM would be money well spent.
