The SoC is probably cheap to them (the rumors were ~$35 for the older Tegra chips), but getting your own board spun up and manufactured especially for reasonably low production can't be cheap. I'm just referring to production here; imagine how much they had to pay all the engineers that had a hand in making it happen, both hardware and software.

indeed

I'm not saying the fan can't be replaced with a fanless solution but you need to find and buy that fanless heatsink that will fit this. Then you need also need to remove the old one and mount this.

What's the point ?
It's probably nice as cheap ARM platform to experiment with, but for anything useful, what's the point ?
Existing x86 offers from AMD and Intel are cheaper, much more versatile ( more ports etc).
Also, I remmber reading on the Semiaccurate that Tk will fall way below marketing claims and that its stated power consumption is essentially scam.
And now we see first boards actively cooled.
With such power consumption, how much sense it makes to go for ARM option that is much more expensive to boot ?
