This is around $250 (and that's the version for Europe, shipped from Spain and the price includes VAT).

Six months ago it was just $150, so the current RAM and SSD prices seem to be fully included in the device price.

I got one to replace an aging Windows 8 PC of a family member who only does web-browsing and e-mail and put Linux on it, and have another one at home working as a TV Box + Home server.

With Linux that's more than enough for browsing, e-mail and even office apps. Not a machine for gamers, but then again gamers aren't buying "entry level PCs".
