Honestly surprised that they hit that price point with the way things are going. Still don't need one so I won't buy one, but about 1000 was what I was expecting
Same for me. I was expecting like $1200 for the base model which nobody should pay that much for such middling specs.
But still $1k is way more than I'd pay for an HTPC. I'd much rather the steam link approach and use streaming to my already nice and powerful desktop. I guess this is a nice thing to point newbies who want a box that should "just work" and don't already have something and don't want to build.
This is for people who don't have a nice and powerful desktop.
They didn't stop development of the link explicitly for people like you?
I'm convinced hardly anybody on Lemmy has a functioning theory of mind.
I feel seen :3
