Some of those 1-star reviews are rough, this seems overpriced.

They aren't bad for tinkerers. For $100 you get a decent start for a low end PC. Bazzite runs decent, was running win10 and moved to Bazzite after 10 went out of support.

Some hoops to jump through depending on your goal, but at the price, it's a decent setup.

FYI for anyone buying one of these you will have to manually update the machine yourself, which wasn't difficult, but a bit of a pain

this is basically a mini computer that runs linux, right? And you can add an SSD?

They did go on black friday sale last year for $80. I got a few then. They may go down lower in price, but that assumes they won't run out of stock.
Good: if you work the BIOS, you can turn this into a great retro emulator. Mine is set up with Batocera and plays every system up to Gamecube with no slowdown. Wii also works, but ps2 has slowdown issues.
Bad: Atari provides very little product support (the Dischord is decent), and it's likely not going to work out of the box without some work.
Fwiw, I found extremely few jaguar/lynx and next gen games available in their store, mostly homebrews and repops of 80s games. Atari doesn't own the rights to some of their better known arcade games, which further limits what's on the system.
If you have some sodimm ddr4 3200 speed ram and an ssd sitting around, this is a fun system to upgrade/tinker with.
