      barebones means youre on your own to procure ram and storage (though theyd pay for gpu ram) it gives value to people who already have the ram/atorage in hand and price the devices minus the ram/storage cost as if it were before memory prices skyrocketed (minus gpu ram) as the cost of the rest of the components wouldnt have had the same price hike

        I don’t think that would work, it has a custom GPU. I would take a no or low storage version to save some money, I some extra SSDs laying around. But RAM prices are insane right now and I bet Valve can get a better deal than I can.
