With the overhead that they save on NOT selling in shops, they are able to pass along the savings to the customers.

It's because they make thier Computers from the cheapest parts and dare not have a local shop where the customer can get to them

Because they would have to increase prices to cover the overheads and cost of shops and staff.

It might keep their prices down and helps them to avoid coming face-to-face with you when it all goes wrong, but how come they charge more than nearly everybody else when it comes to add-ons?

Honestly - because they don't have to.
If they can take orders on-line and by phone, they don't have to pay rent for stores or hire sales crews.
They just keep you on hold all day!
