    Uhhhh I mean if it was an advertisement they probably would have included a link. Its genuinely an interesting product.

      That’s a tactic - saying this from experience working with SEO people. Introducing traffic through Google searches rather than including a link is much more valuable. It’s considered organic traffic. Google values more if users search on their engine and find the product rather than following a link. Also it’s been proven like decades ago; users tend to check (and buy) more in detail if they find the product by themselves. Links have high drop off rate. It’s kinda same idea someone finding a treasure.

        I mean sure. But then you’re counting on them to actually perform those searches.

        Yeah no shit. Because the act of searching indicates they’re already interested in purchasing the product. You’re working the logic backwards. It does nothing if they just can’t be bothered to search for it and never find it. You’re just adding friction for no reason.

      Why do you think that? All i see is a regular pc inside a 60 dollar jonsbo case. How is this exciting?

          One can install that themselves right? So its basically the same thing as laptops shipping with the latest windows

            You greatly overestimate the technical prowess and willingness of the average consumer. Consumers want something they can just plug in and play. It’s why they are entire business built on Linux hardware sales.
