Why We Like This Product

At YPC, we’re impressed by how balanced the AMD Cobra is. During testing, it booted into Windows 11 in under 10 seconds, and file transfers on the NVMe SSD were lightning fast. Even with multiple Chrome tabs, Office apps, and a video stream running, performance stayed smooth. The fact that WiFi and Bluetooth are included out of the box makes it versatile for both office desks and home setups.

Alternatives Worth Considering

• Palicomp Intel i5 System with SSD: Ideal if you prefer Intel’s single-core performance for specific applications.

• HP EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF with Ryzen 5 Pro: More compact form factor, aimed at business users.

• Dell XPS Desktop with i7: Higher-tier, with stronger upgrade paths and premium design.

Comparisons

• Compared to the HP EliteDesk series, the Cobra has far superior storage speed with its NVMe SSD and more modern Ryzen CPU.

• Against an Intel i5-10400 system, the Ryzen 5 5600G offers better integrated graphics, reducing the need for a separate GPU.

• Compared to a Dell OptiPlex renewed system, the Cobra is newer, faster, and far more future-proof, though at a higher cost.

Tips for Using Correctly

• Install core programs and Windows on the NVMe SSD for maximum speed.

• Keep the airflow case vents clear of dust for efficient cooling.

• If planning to game heavily, consider adding a dedicated GPU later.

• Use a USB hub if ports become limited due to WiFi and Bluetooth dongles.

• Adjust ARGB lighting to match your workspace or turn it off for a cleaner look.
