It's VIA, what are you expecting?
They've always had silly pricing on a lot of their products, which is why they're a niche brand now.
Back when they brought mini-ITX to the market, they could've won so much business, but they wanted $200-300 for $100 products, so they didn't really sell.
I very much doubt this will have a big market, as it's already very niche.
Not a lot of products based around that specific chip from MTK though.
That said, this one is "only" $449.

Some more SoC specs for those interested.

VIA is just sniffing glue too much.

If it would be in stock Hardkernel Odroids were much cheaper and flexible and faster than these....

Pumpkin board... the price truly scares me...

Yeah, VIA got used to charging several hundred dollars for a C7 MiniITX board, and miss "the good old days?"

It always amazes me how much of a premium they charge, when thhey are selling the exac same ARM chipset everyone else can offer
