a $3000 AMD395+ will get you pretty close to a open development environment.

There are boards starting in the $1500-$2000 range, and complete systems in the $2500-$2700 range. I actually don't know of any Strix Halo mini PCs that cost $3000, do you?

EDIT: The system I bought last summer for $1980 and just took delivery of in October, Beelink GTR 9 Pro, is now $2999.... wow...

the boards now are pricier, at least the framework one. I got it for 1700, and now its ~$2400.

I bought mine, a mini PC, for $1400 just six months ago. This bubble will pass.

RAM has gone up a lot since last summer.
