By laptop-on-a-desk I mean it's non-upgradeable with an integrated monitor. It's not a desktop machine.

It uses Xeon processors, AMD Vega GPUs, has incredibly fast PCIE NVMe SSD storage, and obviously contains a 27" 5k display...just because you can't take out the hard drive doesn't mean it's not a desktop machine. This is a weird statement to make. Companies using these machines are not interested in physically upgrading them...they use them as long as they can, then buy the newer, faster version.

What you're saying is: "I define 'desktop machine' different than you do, therefore you're wrong".

Give me that hardware in a box that I could upgrade, and don't make me buy a monitor I don't want or need, and I'd probably buy that machine.
