Not just 'way', These prices are downright absurd and anyone who buys one is either giving a donation or an idiot.

$2000 for the very cheapest first-gen Core ultra CPU is nuts. You can buy a used, faster XPS 15 OLED 4K for literally $1000 less.

Like, Dell sells refurbished the Precision 5560 with the 11850H, 4K OLED, same ram and storage amounts, and a bonus Nvidia dedicated GPU for $560.

Did I mention that the ram isn't soldered?

I thought that sounded good, so I looked it up. I can find Dells with 1920x1080 screens for ~$560, but the 4K ones, even refurbished, are closer to $2,000. But maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place?

Dell's own refurbished site. The precision 5560 is in their hot deals.
