Market is so screwed right now anyway, but at that price you could just build a significantly beefier PC with used parts.
The size of it could be a selling point for some people. I might have to move to Europe in the future and having a computer that can fit in my backpack would be hecking amazing. It would probably go in my suitcase though.
I also knew a guy that worked as an IT consultant and would stay in a city for no more than two years at a time for his work before packing everything up and moving on to the next one. Lots of moving around for him. I'm sure he's on the list rn.
Buying used is cheaper than new?!
tbf you can build a more powerful version with new parts for about $100 less.
My point is that if you're gonna drop 1k anyway, you might as well get something much punchier.
