    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.

    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.

    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.
