They could get it to $400 and still be profitable, no problem at all. Prebuilts have someone at every step of the supply chain making money, this is a sweetheart deal for salvaged defective entry-level parts directly from AMD, assembled into a PCB smaller than Steam Deck's.
AMD saw how important Steam Deck was in launching a new market, they're going to be happy to give Valve a good price hoping they'll repeat that success.
I'm going to say $450 for the 500GB model, $600 for the 2TB model - UNLESS ram prices keep going up.
