Geekspin reviewed this computer just over one year ago, and it was $999. How, after supply chains are opening back up and chip shortages are easing up, can Best Buy justify selling this computer today for $400 more? Is the hardware different? null

Geekspin's review was for a far lower end version of the Gen 6. Their config had only an i5 CPU and a non_RTX GPU:
Quote from that review: "This model features an Nvidia GeForce GTX Super graphics card and the latest 11th generation Core i5 6-core processor."
It also had only 8GB of RAM.

By contrast, this item here is a Gen 7 with an i7-12700 CPU, 16GB RAM and an Nvidia RTX3060 GPU.

Answer

Its back too $999
