The quotes I've seen mention the maximum config (128GB ram and 4TB of storage) and the minimum price. Nothing saying $3k for 128GB ram and 4TB of storage. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm betting the max price is at least twice the minimum price.

NVidia says 128GB ram at $3k[0], it looks like the 4TB storage might be variable (and possibly CPU or GPU cores?). This article says 128GB too.. but used up to twice in a row with different meanings which doesn't help.

It's GB200 in desktop compatible enclosure, the RAM is fixed, the SSDs are not, the network ports are fixed too.

  It’s most definitely not a GB200 in a desktop enclosure. The processor is using completely different cores, and the GPU is somewhere around a 5070 for TOPs.

  The CPU is apparently the result of a "secret" project that wasn't on published roadmaps. It's called the GB110. So maybe they will offer differently binned CPU/GPUs with a different fraction of cores disabled and you can pick your SSD.

  It's GB10 a much cut down version to fit the price point, and space, weight and power requirements.

This is NVIDIA, not Apple. They don't charge you a RAM tax (at least for this product). There is only one config for RAM: 128GB.

  It's been far from clear what config options are going to be available, and the $3,000 price is the "starting at" price. Not sure what the options will be, but people have collectively found statements that imply all configs will have 128GB ram. Sounds good, I hope it's true. Seems like the storage will have options, because it's "up to 4TB". Unsure if there will be differently binned CPUs (clock or number of cores). Or connectX optional or at different speeds.

    Doubt it. I don't remember NVIDIA ever doing binning and having different SKUs for their Jetson Developer Kit line, which is similar to this Project Digits thing.

      Well presumably there's some different configurations supported, otherwise they would say $2,999 instead of starting at $2,999.
