If you can find a point of purchase with real support integrity.

They certainly exist, but the majority of home users will go elsewhere. Good support costs, and given the choice of two systems costing the same most people will pick the one with a better specification rather than the one with better support. Can't have both.
Buying on specification is fine if you're skilled enough to deal with problems yourself (which I can) - and more importantly if you have the
time to do it (which I don't). Most people aren't able to fix their own problems, of course, but would still prefer to pay for a faster CPU they almost certainly don't need (2GHz vs. 1.6GHz - how many people can really tell the difference?? Some, sure, but not many) rather than the support they almost certainly do....
