My estimate of "worth" for this exact config:
- Excellent buy: $399–$449
- Fair / market-correct: $450–$499
- Borderline: $500–$549
- Overpriced: $550+
My single-number estimate: about $470.Why $470? Because versus the $429–$459 7735HS alternatives, this unit's extra RAM capacity/speed and premium ports deserve a bump, but not a massive one. I'd roughly credit:
- + $25–$40 for going from common 24GB configs to 32GB fast LPDDR5,
- + $20–$35 for Oculink + dual 2.5GbE + USB4 together,
- then subtract for the fact that 7840HS machines are close enough in price to cap how much a 7735HS box can command.
A few claims in the listing are real, but overstated:- "Good die SSD" is not something I'd assign much resale value to without a named model and endurance specs.
- Dual-fan cooling is nice, but only matters if it sustains clocks better in reviews.
- USB4 is good, but "USB4" alone does not guarantee identical behavior across every device; the useful part here is that it supports the modern high-speed USB4 class and pairs with Oculink.
Bottom line: I would value it at roughly $470, with a buy target under $500 and a strong-buy target under $450. At $589.99, I'd pass unless you specifically need Oculink + dual 2.5GbE + 32GB LPDDR5 in this exact form factor.- Excellent buy: $399–$449

I'm also considering what the Steam machine comes out at if adding ram ever comes back to normal.

Ultimately, I agree with the point. While I may not be able to buy 8 GB of RAM for 40 bucks, that's about what I do willing to pay for an extra 8 GB in a serviceable machine.
