In it's currenty state Optane is almost pointless. A "proper" 250GB SSD is only £50 anyway.

Intel will have to give up eventually and bundle them at a loss. Also...I'm so sick of the "gaming" marketing, it's so much BS.

Is this "Built-in" as in "Bundled" with the motherboard, and maybe already installed in a M2 slot ?
It looks a lot like the i7+ etc series stuff, except you already have the optane there....
Intel really are pushing Optane everywhere they can....
