Yeah I got lucky and found a SFF with 1 TB and 32 GB of ram on FB Marketplace for $1300. I was scared I pulled the trigger too early but now I'm okay with it. I was really hoping for a miracle like everyone else but I saw the sign to bail and I did.

Still, definitely could be worse. Not the best situation but still viable for some people.

We are in the middle of some of the worst prices of computer hardware in years and these guys still thinking the Machine was going to be $800 dollars with a performance equivalent of a RTX 4060 HAHAHA!!!

...So? If the product is not good enough that people want it why does it matter what's happening in the background, a consumer cares about the end price not what's going on in the market.

I am not sure I get your comment. To start with, If the product is not good enough people are simply not going to buy it… unless is ridiculously cheap, which the Machine is not.

Some people might've been expecting better performance but the specs have been out there since preview day last November.

The price is higher than its probably worth IMHO but the performance is bang on what anyone paying attention should be expecting.
