Had to check out what I could get at a similar price point so here's an alternative with an even more powerful CPU (and GPU!), USB4, etc. for $431: https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen™-7-7735hs-mini-pc-nucbox-k2?spm=..product_3221c472-340e-46d5-893a-78ce20a6c2d5.header_1.1&variant=0f35aab5-cca7-45b8-a42f-14b3babd3ab7
Total: $566 (or $610 if you go for 32gb)
If you go with the same kind of CPU they use, you get away with just: 148+50+85 = $283
...and you even get an 8gb ram stick and 128gb ssd that you can sell or use for other projects:
