That's the price of the 'fully configured' model, with an entire 8GB of RAM and a massive 256GB ssd.

No OS though, that'll cost you full retail price for Windows.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I'm wondering if Minisforum is buying them and re-branding too, or if Simply NUC is buying them from Minisforum.

Might be worth the markup to buy from a US company that has better support than Minisforum, especially if this is for professional use.

It was such a pain getting my Minisforum PC back online after I reformatted it. No drivers available on their website for my model, Windows update wasn't able to get them, no official support or manual besides to identify which NICs it even had in it. Took some trial and error to get the right ones.

All you needed to do was email Minisforum and ask for help...

I'm woefully unimpressed by their support website. I recently bought an HX100G for my wife. It's an impressive device with some odd quirks. A little testing and googling revealed that the USB-C/DP ports only run from the integrated graphics, and the HDMI ports run off the dedicated graphics. Silly me, I thought with AMD in both cases it would just gracefully switch based on performance requirements or at the very least I could assign an application to use a specific device. Still, there's a lot of performance in that little box, and it is barely audible at full load.
