It's definitely true for PCs. At best you can get the same price for pre-assembled but usually it's more expensive. Not sure about laptops though.

- sokoloff 5y agoI bought a Chromebook for $92 delivered to my door this winter. It’s definitely not the case there.
- ghaff 5y agoRealistically, you can't even really build your own laptop from scratch in the sense of buying a case, motherboard, etc. OK--maybe someone offers this--but it's hardly mainstream. And you can buy a Dell desktop for ~$800 and I'm sure I could find cheaper deals elsewhere. No, it's not an optimized gaming machine but most people don't have any use for that.
- bobthepanda 5y agoAdmittedly it’s been a while, but the last I checked crypto-driven GPU scarcity made it much harder and more expensive to build a gaming PC than to buy premade.
