Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where by buying overpriced stuff, you’re BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?
It looks like they’re combining two options into one, like instead of having you choose “optional keyboard Y/N” and then “keyboard language”, you just choose them both at once, like “optional keyboard and if so, what language?”
$500 with a keyboard would be acceptable for a device like that. But the retail price is given as $700 plus $100 for the keyboard. That’s pretty steep.
I’m all for paying a little more for a machine that puts Linux and FOSS first. Dell and Lenovo are cheaper, sure, but you’re supporting the Windows/closed source ecosystem.

Do you think it is overpriced?
I was doing the configure your device option but I have no clue if the ”additional language” is the external keyboard. It has to be(?) :)![](https://i.imgur.com/w4oscty.jpg)

Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.
