People get super upset when you say this, but like much of Panic's other hardware (like their Mini-ITX case) you're also paying for the mythos.

Like I said from the get-go that most of these will be used as desk ornaments (albeit pretty and functional ones)

Not long after Panic announced a dock with a pen holder.

They know their market, people with a lot of disposable income and a want to a showpiece that's not as flashy as gold pen or something

You're confusing Panic (the software/video game company behind this device's concept and software) with Teenage Engineering (a Swedish hardware company that designed the device)

Teenage Engineering has a variety of products unrelated to this game console, including the ITX case.

Sorry you're right, but my comment stands word for word with the name replaced

Teenage Engineering is behind the physical device, which is what represents most of what I'm describing here
