It's not under priced. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) Yeah. i haven't compared pricing anyway to be honest. Hopefully, its built in a way that's fully upgradeable too. But, just saying that the price will need to reflect the actual value. Unlike PS5, XBOX or Switch, these are actual computers that can run a real OS and competing stores, so, they can't absorb any loss, or people will buy them as cheap computers (like what happened when they rooted the XBOX's) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago The GPU is 8GB vram and isn't upgradedable. The 16GB ram isn't upgradedable. It's comparable to any of the several dozen $600 mini PCs with 8GB of dedicated VRAM. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago And that's just the BASE model. permalink fedilink source parent
