Referring to arrowlake as an upgrade is to say the least a bit disingenuous

I hope it's not $26k with only a Core Ultra 7 265K CPU in it...

I look at pre-builts like these and all I see is a big FU to PC enthusiasts that build their own systems: no need to learn how to build a PC or how to choose the right parts, you can just throw money at the problem instead.
Love the case design, though.

To be fair though, not everybody has the wherewithal to build their own PC. We on this forum are the minority. We eat, sleep and breathe PC hardware and DIY. Most people don't. We might think building a PC is easy, but a lot of people are very intimidated by the thought of having to pick their own parts and actually build the thing correctly. Others simply can't be bothered.

I really appreciate this take, some people have more money than time, paying premium to not have to learn or worry is worth it to a lot of people.

There are some of us who also like to service our own cars, change the oil, filters, plugs etc but the majority of people take them to a garage, this is no different, yes they could learn but don't have an inclination to do so and just want a machine that is fast and does what they want without hassle

It still is. Not everybody is on it though. Thus there is a market.
