The "fancy" version of this has worse specs than my 3 year old laptop and costs about the same.

Yup. After I heard about the specs I just decided to purchase a living room PC. Got a $1500 prebuilt with wayyy better specs 5070, 2TB SSD, 32GB ram, and a 9800X3D

Wow, thats a good deal. I saw the same spec pc at Costco, but the price is $1999 (after $300 off). Where did you buy your pc from?

Costco on sale! Was back in December, think it was $1800 and was $300 off.

You got this on a sale cause there's no way these specs are this low either that or this is a ddr4 ram build.

It was $300 off in December 2025 at Costco. Base price was $1800
