i actually think its not the worst priced framework product ironically. Prebuilt 1k pcs tend to be something like a high end cpu + 4060 desktop anyways, so specs wise, its relatively speaking, reasonable. take for example cyberpower pcs build here, which is of the few oems iirc Gamers Nexus thinks doesn't charge as much of a SI tax on assembly. it's acutally not incredibly far off performance wise. I'd argue its the most value Framework product per dollar ironically.
That value proposition evaporates when you factor in repairability and upgradability of those prebuilts.
