  The article says:

  When I listen to my interview audio, I find an additional hint from Griffais: “We intend for it to be positioned closer to the entry level of the PC space, but to be very competitive with a PC you could build yourself from parts.”

  Poking around the web, I find I could probably assemble a computer with this performance for $800, not including labor. But it could easily consume half the room under my TV. A compact system with a similar GPU can cost $1,000 without storage, memory, operating system, or a gamepad.

  Which makes it reasonable to assume it's gonna be at least within that price range. And that is personally way too much for me.

  I hope this succeeds, but personally I'd rather have a less powerful machine at a more affordable price point.
