Gamers Nexus did a whole thing on this a while ago. It was quite illuminating.
What it mainly illuminated to me is that I will never buy a prebuilt gaming PC from anyone, let alone lease one. If it’s not my own grubby fingers touching every component I don’t trust it.
I thought it would be way worse, still a clear scam though.
They might be small enough to not get away with it though.

Even if you don’t want to build one yourself, you can probably find someone (family, friends, friend of friends) who build for some beer.
Leasing PC sounds like a scam by definition. Even in developing countries, people are able to scrape $700-$900 for a modest build.
If you can’t save up this sort of cash living in the US (cost of living is higher, but components are cheaper), leasing is not a good idea.
