If I had to guess, I'd think somewhere in the 1500 usd region. Which will make it more expensive than some prebuilts, but still somewhat justifiable to enough people due to certain expectations. Hell it may even perform a lil better than some prebuilts with dgpu, since valve already has skin in the game to keep improving Linux experience. Still I wouldn't trade a 6 y/o PC for it rather just slap Linux on it myself...in fact I did that.
1500 is too much. You can definitely build better PC at that price… it just won’t be that small.
Oh I wholeheartedly agree, even 1000-1200 is too much imo. I wonder if they were hoping to sling it for around 700-1000 given past NUC prices but with all the stupidity going on we will never know.
