I was thinking as a cost cutting measure. As long as performance is comparable to a moderate CPU GPU combination, it’s less silicone, interconnections, ram, and coolers and less likely to break during shipping / assembly. Like a gaming console.

Such a PC could still use sockets with upgradable APUs or CPUs, as well as PCI slots for dedicated gpus, retaining basic upgradability. A lot depends on the upcoming AMD APUs.

Imo, 4060ti performance in a 600 to 800 dollar box running a amd Apu with 16 to 32 gb of shared ram. That’s all they need.

It would have to sound like a jet engine. I have an induction burner and I cook most everything at 600 watts.

Does system 76 do a bad job? I’ve looked at their prices, which are high, but haven’t heard anything bad about them.
