Welcome to ROG Requim ..
It's all about the price points and specs from what I see. For those that don't have the time or inclination to DIY.
I'm sure you wouldn't find them all on one shelf for sale or area for that matter.
This is ROG .. not just gaming. For those with the time and the inclination to build, OC, Bench .. oh, and Game.
Depends on your Flavor. Best of luck. .c.

My personal opinion: Style and Demographic.
The pre-built desktops are for certain people in mind.

Vivo is geared for the savvy business worker, with the option to play games in some as a "perk." Most of these are built for productivity and responsiveness over gaming capability.

ROG: This has been used several times to divide from the gaming desktops that Asus does. Usually with a little bit more flair (the jagged line pattern) in design and usage of the thematic red and black, or the Strix gunmetal grey and metallic orange. These machines are built to be quiet but powerful, minimalist yet robust. Basically: It looks good, is small, and performs well.

Gaming: For those that like somewhere in between these worlds. The desktops are more like the standard tower while keeping the red and black look. Still keeping the desktop standard layout without any special placing. Basically a desktop with the cards added for performance.

So basically the order is Vivo < Gaming < ROG from my viewpoint. Vivo's are business towers, Gaming are Gaming towers and ROG is a Gaming tower that's been customized for design.
