It's hard to believe that it's just a RAM issue.
Valve is going full Apple with the SSD upgrade. They're making a healthy profit from each system they sell.
Why shouldn't they? Margins are going to be tight btw, so they're really not. What they're really selling is a vehicle for Steam.
BTW, try putting together a same or better spec build yourself and get back to us with the cost.
Because they are a for profit company with a billionaire ceo. Making profits it's their job.
The price you pay for something in a store is not the same price valve pays for a stock of parts. They buy the same stuff for a lot cheaper and resell it at an higher price to make profits.
