That’s a great idea. I’d probably buy from Amazon.co.uk I think this is the same model: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-DeskMini-A300-Barebone-Socket/dp/B07P9GL1LN/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ASRock+System+DESKMINI+A300W+AM4&qid=1603897144&sr=8-1
When you say ‘laptop-sized RAM’, can you link to something on Amazon. I have to admit I would not even have considered that and would have bought some Corsair Vengance or some such.
Thanks for replying.

If you’re willing to put in some effort, you could research barebones and Mini PC options
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P9GL1LN/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08BLH58S4/
I’m not sure how Celerons and Atoms hold a candle to Ryzen APUs, but they also do super cheap options, even stick form

It somewhat depends if you ever want to fit a GPU.

I think I know what would fit your requirements very well, but it’s not a laptop and not anything you can put together using PC part picker.
I’d recommend the following:
ASRock DeskMini A300 Mini PC Barebone
HyperX Impact DDR4-3200 2 x 8GB SODIMM
ASRock WiFi Kit for DeskMini (optional)
ASRock USB 2.0 Header for DeskMini (optional)
Retailers can order various configurations of the DeskMini. Some include the WiFi kit and a custom CPU cooler, others do not. I’m not clear on what’s all included with the one on offer at Amazon UK. So you may or may not need to add the optional items. I’d recommend going with the Noctua cooler in any case.
For more information on the DeskMini, see ASRock’s product page.
For detailed customer reviews on the DeskMini which include a lot of helpful build information, see the DeskMini listing on Newegg.
Let me know if you have questions or comments.

Case comes inclusive with motherboard and PSU. Good enough for simple video and image editing.

Then I recommend these components together with an ASRock A300. You can even extend it with an M.2 WiFi card, if you need that.
