I look at it this way: I buy a new car, and for whatever reason, I really want nice rims on it. If I want the rims package, I also have to buy the package with traction control and sat nav, and it's going to cost me $3,500.
It doesn't make any sense- I don't want those other things. I only want rims.
Now with computers- say I work with big data, so I really only need a computer with a boatload of RAM and a pretty meh processor. If this model takes off (which I seriously doubt it will) all the sudden, to get my 64GB of ram I need an 8 core processor and a top of the line graphics card? It doesn't make any sense.
Package deals inevitably force people to buy things they have no desire for, and I'm not even taking into consideration how they are intentionally making this near impossible to repair or replace pieces manually.
It's just really dumb, and I have a hard time believing anyone actually thinks any part of this is a decent idea.
