    I see. Thanks for the reply. You sound a lot like me actually. But one of the many things I like to build is computers and when I heard that the CPU was soldered on, I thought, well that just gets thrown in the trash as soon as it’s outdated. And it seemed like it wasn’t as good as a different computer running the same stuff, but I hadn’t heard anything about it until now and that’s ALL I’m hearing, so I figured I must have missed something.

      That’s a fair point re: CPU, although I’m not patient enough to build a PC (my friends built mine ages ago 😂) so it won’t make much difference to me… hopefully. But for sure I think if upgrade-ability and/or final price are of concern, then building your own box to the same specs would be much better
