Echoing what Russel said...(But cheaper)

I recycled a kiddies Dell xps13 with an i7 in it....

I didn't bother with the RAM - just upgraded to 1TB NVME, and a new battery.(NVME is MUCH faster than HDD/SSD)
The whole update cost around $100

Don't know about pixinsight, but it flies with AS!3, DSS etc.

1TB was enough for me - its sufficient for a few hours of planetary when capturing to .ser files -

1tb is effectively "infinite" storage for my deep sky - i typically delete the capture files once i'm happy with my final image.
