Just not a good time to buy anything with memory in it but especially computers. I had hoped for around half this price but it makes sense in light of the AI crunch on the industry.
That said they’ll probably still sell out to at least a speculative market trying to flip these things.
Always said it would be around $1000. If I wanted to be petty, I’d have saved the comments of people who said no way it would be over $700-800, but I don’t.
A lot of people said it wouldn’t be DOA at $1000 though.
Already got shills disliking the truth
the truth that we have a chip shortage thanks to stupid demands of AI datacenters? Yeah it really fecking hurts everyone and drives the prices for computer components up like no tomorrow.
Bare bones model will be over $1500 in Canada. I think they’ll sell out their first run, but will have trouble moving later inventory.
They did mentioned that this first batch will be a limited run due to the price of ram, they’re likely gonna drop the price in the future i guess.
Japan prices
At the median salary (gross of roughly 5 million JPY), the only one not sold out is roughly 2/3 of a month’s take-home pay.
Not saying you’re wrong but the Japanese market is a special place for gaming products.
Yeah it’s definitely in the range of just building a box and installing steam OS, maybe even of buying a pre-built and installing steam OS, that said I still find their efforts very commendable. I know they wanted to be cheaper but it’s tough with the current hardware market.
