Entry Plus Small Business PC

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G Entry Level Small Business Desktop PC – Built in the UK

The Entry Plus Small Business PC is an entry level small business desktop PC for office administration, email, web-based software and everyday Windows 11 Professional work.

This entry level small business desktop PC is built around the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, a six-core, 12-thread processor with integrated graphics, so the system needs no separate graphics card. It pairs the processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory, a 240GB SATA SSD and genuine, pre-installed Windows 11 Professional, all in a compact black Contour LP-2001 mini tower. It suits offices, workshops, reception desks and home offices that want a dependable PC for daily tasks. Because it is built to order, you can change parts in the configurator to fit the way your team works.

The Entry Plus Small Business PC is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor with AMD Radeon Graphics onboard, 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory and a 240GB Crucial BX500 SATA SSD. It uses a Gigabyte A520M K V2 Micro-ATX motherboard and a Contour 300W power supply. It runs Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (genuine, pre-installed) and is covered by a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a 3.9GHz base clock, a 4.4GHz maximum turbo clock and 16MB of L3 cache. That is plenty of headroom for the way an office actually works: a browser with many tabs open, email, spreadsheets, accounting or booking software and a video call, all at the same time. It fits the AM4 socket and is cooled by the AMD stock CPU cooler, a stock air cooler.

Integrated graphics and display outputs

Graphics come from the AMD Radeon Graphics built into the processor, so there is no separate graphics card to buy, power or cool. The motherboard offers one HDMI 2.1 output and one D-Sub (VGA) output, which lets you run two monitors. That covers a typical desk setup with a main screen and a second screen for reference material. The same graphics handle the occasional light gaming a home office user might want, but this PC is configured first and foremost for business tasks.

Memory and storage

The PC has 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory fitted as a single 8GB module. The motherboard has two DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB, so one slot is left free for later expansion. Windows 11 and your applications run from a 240GB Crucial BX500 2.5in SATA SSD, rated at 540MB/s read and 500MB/s write. A solid state drive keeps start-up and application loading responsive compared with a mechanical drive. If you keep large archives locally, choose a larger drive in the configurator or store those files on a network share or in the cloud.

There is also room to grow. The board has a free M.2 slot (PCIe 3.0 x4 / SATA) and four SATA 6Gb/s ports, one of them used. The case has mounts for one 3.5″ drive and two 2.5″ drives. No optical drive is fitted.

Windows 11 Professional for business

The PC is supplied with Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed). Professional adds the features businesses tend to need over Home: BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop and the ability to join a company domain. If your IT arrangements already rely on any of these, the PC fits straight in. Office software is not part of the default build.

Compact black case and cooling

The chassis is the Contour LP-2001 in black, a solid steel mini tower measuring 365mm deep, 170mm wide and 345mm high (36.5 x 17.0 x 34.5cm). That is small enough to sit on or under a desk without taking over the workspace. Airflow comes from the AMD stock air cooler and a pre-installed 80mm rear fan. The PC is air-cooled throughout and has no liquid cooling. Power comes from a Contour 300W ATX power supply, which is sized for this build.

Connectivity and ports

The motherboard has a 1GbE Realtek LAN port for wired networking, which suits an office with cabled Ethernet. Wi-Fi is not built in, so if you need wireless, look for a Wi-Fi option in the configurator. The built-in audio is 7.1 channel High Definition (Realtek ALC887).

The rear panel has 4 x USB Type-A 5Gbps ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports and the RJ-45 Ethernet port, alongside the HDMI and VGA video outputs. The front panel adds 2 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. There is a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot inside. No keyboard or mouse is included, and you can add them from the accessory links below.

Ideal for

• Small offices and sole traders who need a reliable everyday PC
• Reception, front-desk and general administration workstations
• Bookkeeping, email, spreadsheets and browser-based business software
• Home offices, homework and occasional light gaming
• Businesses that want Windows 11 Professional features on a tight specification

For a business that wants an entry level small business desktop PC without hardware it will not use, the Entry Plus Small Business PC is a well-balanced choice. A six-core Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, an SSD, Windows 11 Professional and a 3-year warranty come together in a compact black case, with free memory and storage slots for the future.

Built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology, every system comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, backed by over 30 years of PC building experience. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the Entry Plus Small Business PC best for?

The Entry Plus Small Business PC is primarily a desk-based office PC for people who spend their day in email, documents, spreadsheets and web applications. Its six-core Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, SSD and Windows 11 Professional are matched to those tasks. It is a sensible fit where several identical PCs are needed across a small team, because each one is built to the same specification.

In practice that means word processing, spreadsheets, PDF handling, browser-based accounting, booking and customer records, and video calls once a webcam is added. It also suits shared reception machines and home offices. Heavier professional work such as video editing, 3D modelling or CAD is better served by the workstation range, which is built around more memory and dedicated graphics.

Where does the Entry Plus Small Business PC sit in the range?

The Entry Plus Small Business PC sits in the entry tier of the business range. Below it, the Advanced Entry Small Business PC uses the same Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G and 8GB of memory but has a 256GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD. The AMD Ryzen Business PC also uses the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, with 16GB of memory (2x8GB) and a 500GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

Above it, the Punch Value Plus Small Business Desktop moves to an Intel Core i5-12400 with the same 8GB memory and 240GB SATA SSD. The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC keeps the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G but fits a 500GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Compare these if you want more storage or a different processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software can the Entry Plus Small Business PC run?

It runs everyday business software under Windows 11 Professional, including web browsers, email, office suites, PDF tools, video calling and browser-based accounting or customer systems. The six cores and 12 threads of the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G let you keep several of these open together, and the SSD keeps them quick to launch.
