AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC

AMD Ryzen 5 Home Office Desktop Computer – Built in the UK

The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC is an entry-level Ryzen 5 home office desktop computer for homework, admin, web browsing and everyday family computing.

Built to order in the UK, this Ryzen 5 home office desktop computer is designed for the jobs a household does every day: writing documents, managing spreadsheets, handling email, joining video calls and browsing the web. It uses an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor with integrated graphics, so there is no separate graphics card to buy, power or cool. The 8GB of memory and 500GB SSD help the PC remain responsive in Windows 11. Because it is built to order, you can change parts in the configurator to suit the way you work.

The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor with six cores, twelve threads and integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, with 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory and a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD. It runs genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit and is covered by a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Six core Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor

The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has six cores and twelve threads, with a base clock of 3.9GHz, a maximum turbo of 4.4GHz and 16MB of L3 cache. That is ample for a browser with plenty of tabs open alongside a document, a spreadsheet and a video call, and the twelve threads help the PC stay smooth when several tasks run at once. The processor sits in the AM4 socket of a Gigabyte A520M H ARGB Micro-ATX motherboard, a straightforward AMD A520 platform for home and office use.

Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics and two display outputs

The graphics are built into the processor, which keeps the system simple and avoids the cost of a dedicated card. Office work, video streaming, photo viewing and light casual gaming are all within reach of the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. The motherboard provides one DisplayPort 1.4 output and one HDMI 2.1 output, so you can keep a document open on one screen and email or a video call on another.

8GB DDR4 memory and 500GB NVMe SSD

The system is fitted with 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory as a single module. That leaves a second DIMM slot free, and the motherboard supports up to 64GB in total. The 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD holds Windows 11, your programs and your files, and starts and loads far faster than a traditional hard drive. The drive is rated at 5000MB/s read and 3000MB/s write, but the M.2 slot on the A520 motherboard runs at PCIe 3.0, so read speeds are limited to roughly 3,500MB/s, still far quicker than a hard drive. Four SATA ports and case mounts for three 3.5in drives and one 2.5in drive leave room for extra storage later. No optical drive is fitted.

Compact silver mATX case and air cooling

The Contour Contender mATX Workstation case is a silver, solid steel mini tower measuring 410mm deep, 182mm wide and 353mm high, small enough for a desk or a space under it. The processor is air cooled by the AMD stock CPU cooler and no liquid cooling is used. A Contour 400W ATX power supply powers the system. The front panel carries two USB 2.0 ports plus headphone and microphone jacks, so a headset or a flash drive is always easy to reach.

Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet and audio connectivity

The motherboard has a 1GbE Realtek LAN port for a wired network connection. Wireless comes from a 600Mbps 11ac dual band USB Wi-Fi 5 adapter, which you can change in the configurator if you prefer another option. The front panel USB 2.0 ports suit a flash drive or headset, and the motherboard offers a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for expansion cards. Audio is High Definition 7.1 (Realtek). No keyboard or mouse is included, so choose them from the accessories below.

Ideal for

• Homework, study and revision at home
• Working from home with documents, spreadsheets, email and video calls
• Household admin, banking and online shopping
• Web browsing, video streaming and photo viewing
• A first home computer or a replacement for an ageing desktop

Anyone looking for a Ryzen 5 home office desktop computer with a fast NVMe SSD, DisplayPort and HDMI display outputs and genuine, pre-installed Windows 11 Home will find the AMD Entry Plus a well-balanced starting point. It covers everyday computing without paying for hardware a home office does not need, and the free memory slot and spare SATA ports leave room to grow.

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 and our status as an AMD Elite System Builder. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC best for?

The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC is primarily a general-purpose computer for home working, study and family use. Its six core processor and NVMe SSD handle everyday Windows 11 workloads comfortably, from document editing to several browser windows at once. It is a sensible choice where reliability and a quick, responsive desktop matter more than raw graphics power.

Typical jobs include writing reports, working in spreadsheets, sending email, joining video calls, managing household paperwork, streaming video and browsing the web. The integrated AMD Radeon Graphics drive two monitors through the DisplayPort and HDMI outputs for a dual-screen desk. Demanding 3D modelling, rendering, high-end video editing and heavy modern games are outside its brief, and 8GB of memory is a starting point that can be increased in the configurator.

Where does the AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC sit in the range?

The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC uses the same Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G as the Entry Plus Small Business PC, but is specified with a 500GB NVMe SSD where that system has a 240GB SATA SSD. The Punch Value Plus Small Business Desktop is the other step below, built on an Intel Core i5-12400 with 8GB of memory. Moving up, the Punch GDT, R7 5700G 16GB 1TB Win 11 has an eight core Ryzen 7 5700G with 16GB of DDR4 memory. The Punch SlimStation SFF 12th Gen Desktop is an Intel Core i5-12400 system with a 500GB NVMe SSD in a small form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software can the AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC run?

It runs everyday Windows 11 software smoothly, including web browsers, email, office suites, PDF readers, video calling and video streaming. The six core Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G and the NVMe SSD keep these responsive even with several open at once. It is not aimed at demanding 3D design, rendering or high-end video editing, which need a dedicated graphics card and more memory.

Can the AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC run two monitors?

Yes, the motherboard has one DisplayPort 1.4 output and one HDMI 2.1 output, so it can drive two monitors. This suits a home office desk with documents on one screen and email or a call on another. Compatible screens are available from the Monitors button above.

Does this PC have Wi-Fi?

Yes, wireless is provided by a 600Mbps 11ac dual band USB Wi-Fi 5 adapter. The motherboard also has a 1GbE Realtek LAN port if you prefer a wired connection to your router. Because the PC is built to order, you can change the wireless option in the configurator.

Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?

Yes, the motherboard has two DIMM slots with one in use and supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. The only M.2 slot is used by the 500GB SSD, but four SATA ports are free and the case has mounts for three 3.5in drives and one 2.5in drive. There is also a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for a graphics card, and any card should be checked against the 400W power supply.

Who is this PC best suited for?

The AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC is best suited to home workers, students and families who want a dependable Windows 11 desktop for documents, email, video calls, web browsing and streaming. Buyers who need a dedicated graphics card, more memory or more processor cores for creative or technical work should change the parts in the configurator or look at a higher PC in the range.

What is included with the AMD Entry Plus Home Office Desktop PC?

You receive the PC with genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit, and you finish Windows setup and accept the Microsoft licence terms on first use.
