Ah, the eternal tech reviewer cycle. Just when you think you've seen the absolute rock-bottom of pre-built computers, the industry says "hold my thermal paste" and delivers something even more horrifying.
It's like watching hardware evolution in reverse - yesterday's "worst ever" becomes today's "not that bad compared to this new monstrosity." The amount of hot glue, proprietary connectors, and single-channel RAM configurations seems to multiply with each generation.
The kicker? They somehow manage to charge more for each successive downgrade. At this point, I'm convinced PC manufacturers are in a secret competition to see who can fit the most bloatware on a Celeron processor while still calling it a "gaming rig."
