To this day, you can't have the price of that PC subsidized or allowed for the price to be paid in installments with a 24 month contract like a phone.

What would happen to the desktop market if they offered up an infinite payment plan that allowed for annual trade-ins/upgrades like phones? We used to do that with leasing companies for data room equipment, but I never saw it for normal user computers (not that I'm well versed in all manners computer leasing).
