I'm sorry but I'd score this system MUCH higher (%85-90) than NBC did (%76).

- The lack of a NPU mostly kills WIN11 "AI" nonsense that nobody wants or likes
- The APU MAY not be the latest model, however performs very well
- The 680M iGPU may fall below a 780M iGPU, however only an 'issue' if playing games without a eGPU (OCuLink/USB4).
- Oh, did we mention it HAS an OCuLink port? A very desirable option

So as far as price/performance go, how much would one save by purchasing THIS system over a higher cost system with a newer APU? Seriously?

In a world where many content creators are whining about the price of PC parts, here's a complete system (no monitor/KB/Mouse) that is expandable for fairly reasonable $$$.
