The 30% on the machine has nothing to do with the 30'% commission they take on sales.
ITs their own product, sold through their retail, its apples and oranges.
Original price point was supposed to be 700-800€ for the base machine with 500GB, from what Linus was claiming (and he asked them, so i sorta believe him).
For that price, it would've been an immense bang for buck. You wouldn't be able to assemble cheaper without going for the second hand market.
As is, its run of the mill for the base edition and downright just expensive for the 2TB storage edition.
Where is your data on that. Did you do a peer reviewed study? Got it published? Was it decimated once it got published or do people that actually do that research refer to it as well?
If answer to all of this is yes or thereabouts then by all means tell me what the actual capability of our measurements is.
