Also in the US. My family's first PC was a Magnavox-branded 386SX. Weirdly overengineered (motherboard with a lot of SMD components, almost tool-free case, CPU on a card so it could be sold as a 286 or 386SX) but janky in other ways (1M RAM/40M disc)

In retrospect it sort of made sense: Philips was an electronics company making a nice piece of electronics, rather than a computer company that was chasing benchmarks and features.
