Yeah, our pricing is one of our project's biggest weaknesses. Unfortunately, upfront capital costs and low scale basically force things to be this way.
With that said, our VR computer is still reasonably competitive against other premium office laptops and ultra-premium (high PPD) VR/AR gaming headsets. We made a post about this here.[1] TLDR: we're offering a headset as good as the tethered Varjo Aero (priced at $2K), with a premium-spec computer as good as a top-shelf Lenovo X1 Carbon bolted on as well (making up for the remaining $699 in price).
Finally: if it helps, we made a $100 off discount code you can apply at checkout: "DISCOUNT_HN". This applies even if you opt for the partial deposit ($1,499 now; $1,499 later) pre-order option.

- phowat 4y agoI totally agree with you. To clarify, your device is too expensive for me because I live in a country which has huge import taxes and a currency which is really devaluated in relation to the US dollar. If I could purchase it without paying those taxes , I would have already made a preorder. This was not a complaint about the price .
