The first accelerated processing units (APUs) for desktops from AMD became available in late June. The first installment of desktop APUs comprises two quad-core chips, the A6-3650 and A8-3850, both of which have garnered mixed reviews. PC manufacturers, too, haven’t quite warmed up to the new chips so far. Nonetheless, boutique system builder AVADirect has announced a couple of Llano-equipped PCs.
Both the AVADirect DTS-FM1-PD33XTP and DTS-FM1-2CFD33XTP can be customized around either the A6-3650 or the more powerful A8-3850. They have a starting price of $450.15 and $601.66, respectively. The base configurations of both models are almost identical. Both of them feature the A6-3650, 2GB of RAM, and 1TB HDD storage. The latter, however, ships with a Radeon HD 5750 graphics card with 1GB GDDR5 memory.

You'll be surprised.
Not only do OEMs buy in hardware in bulk for prices that are much lower than we'll ever see. But they also have special deals with software developers to lower their costs. After all you don't really believe these OEMs install all that shovelware on there for free do you. I bet after it's all said and done they probably pay about $25 for Windows.

Do they come with windows?
If they do they don't have a huge profit margin on the lower end one.
