Well it won't start shipping until December and most of the pre-orders are slated for 2022 so it may as well be next year

I wonder how they managed to achieve such a low price. The specs/cost ratio is insane, and I don't know how they managed to get, for instance, RAM at that rate.

Yea they are probably losing money on this but I think their goal is to push people towards Steam OS which why they are putting so much effort into the OS instead of using Windows. If they can get people to use Steam OS instead of Windows, then they would have full control like consoles do. But if not, then they will still make money off of people buying games on Steam and carve out a new segment in PC gaming. But that's just my theory anyway.
