Single non upgradable unit ? Thats how laptops are built, and they're generally more expensive than PC desktop, including the LCD screen. Some of the tech on those consoles don't yet exist on PC market. Assuming that they're as cheap as regular desktops, these rigs would sell for AT LEAST $2500. By the time they hit the market later in the year, they'll probably drop to at least $1000-1500. The companies are going to take a mega loss per unit if they want to make it affordable. I can't imagine them dropping it more than to $500. Thats still pretty expensive.
If what is said is true, being only 2-3x the GC, The Revolution would cost about $800-1000 weighted against today's technology. At launch, it would be no more than $200-300.
