Tons of manufacturers are offering barebones builds of many models of miniPCs and similar, because… the environment is just that insane.
They can do all the work of designing their cases and boards and SOCs or cpu/apu/npu integrated mobos and such…
But RAM? SSDs? Sometimes GPUs?
They can sell more if they do 90% of the work, and the … basically enthusiast by definition consumer base does the other 10% of ‘final assembly’.
If a barebones model doesn’t appeal to somebody… okey dokey then, good luck finding a better deal without any work on your end, convenience maxxing consumer.
Do people not like, get, that most PC components are ultimately made by … cartels? Do people not get that?
They’re literally cartels, they just make and sell computer components, not cocaine.
Yep yep yep.
