1TB NVME is about 60 dollars depending on make/model
32GB RAM is about 85 dollars on amazon depending on make/model
so that's 250 + 300 +60 +85 = 695
So for 25 dollars extra you get the OS license
So the combo for 720 isn't that bad of a deal.
If you want you could build cheaper yourself with a lower end CPU, but if you're looking for a 8700G the combo price is fair

The main point I'd make is that given MF's track record of making flaky mini PCs, I'd take some convincing to buy something like this from them. I can bet you that they haven't tested this system with all, or even many, of the processors that it claims to support. And good luck in getting ongoing BIOS and driver support from them.

So the qualifier I would add is that the price is fair if your primary goal is to have something teeny-tiny. Which is valid.
what are the idle, normal power consumptions?
Thanks
