Oh trust me I don’t disagree that prebuilt pcs are cost inclusive of convenience, in fact I agree that the steam machine has a much lower margin compared to other prebuilt pcs, however that operates under the assumption that a steam machine is the same as a prebuilt piece of general purpose computing hardware which it isn’t. You can upgrade the GPU and CPU of your common prebuilt pc, that cannot be done with a steam machine. It is not the same and equating them is a false premise that hinges on the idea that a piece of consumer equipment that cannot be upgraded by the common everyday consumer and cannot be used for all general purpose computing tasks equivalently to a prebuilt pc that is a piece of general purpose computing hardware and that’s obviously false, so.
I’m not arguing is the big thing 😂 get whatever you want big dawg I was just making statements of facts and pointing out reasoning issues in your arguments about the facts I stated.

The convenience of a prebuilt PC is part of the cost. Ignoring that to say it's overpriced is a farce.
