ionz Gaming PC, Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB, 1TB NVMe, Ember Wood
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ionz Ember Wood costs £699.99 and is rated 4.3 stars from 20 ratings, with a Ryzen 5 5500, an RTX 3050 6GB and a 1TB NVMe drive.
It takes sixth because it is the only listing in this ranking that states its processor socket, and because 1TB of storage at this price is the best value in the middle of the tier.
How those 20 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.
