Desktops are very rarely sold as complete products anymore. Basically the only market for them left is gamers who are just going to build their own from parts. Individual GPUs and etc do get articles.

The Mac mini gets quite a lot of attention considering I’ve never actually met a Mac mini user ever. Everyone picks the MacBook.

It's not that computers like the PCjr were big deals (less than 300,000 of them were sold), it's that they were interesting. People talked about them.

A lot of desktops are sold, but not to users. To companies.
