Article note: Of course people are whining about the price. A year ago that $1050 price would be bad, right now adding up a Ryzen 7 7600 + RX 7600 8GB + 16GB of DDR5 + 512GB of SSD + any AM5 motherboard comes up over $900, and that ignores case and PSU and such.
Probably fairer to compare to some of the MiniPCs from Minisforum and Beelink and whatnot with a broadly-comparable APU, but the approximately-a-RX7600 is like 3x the GPU of the Radeon 890M out of the best of those, and by the time you have comparable RAM and SSD a Ryzen AI 9 APU Mini PC will also be over $1k.
I certainly don't need one, but it's not an un-compelling offering, especially considering the apparent/likely build quality and support. I'm certainly optimistic about the directions it will continue to distort the ecosystem in.
