Ghost lists its Core personal AI computer at $3,499, but the live product page checked on October 6 marks the first batch sold out. It says that batch ships October 31 and offers an interest-registration button for batch two. The displayed price and shipping date should therefore not be read as a fresh order available for immediate delivery.
The distinction matters after October 5 launch coverage drew attention to the US company’s dedicated AI hardware. Ghost’s homepage still says the first batch is open, while its product page gives the more specific sold-out status. This guide uses the product status and separates the machine’s local functions from its internet-dependent features.
What the hardware price covers
The official configuration lists an NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF GPU with 24 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor, 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. These are the manufacturer’s specifications, not independent measurements of response speed or task reliability.
Ghost also advertises a one-year warranty and a 30-day return offer with free shipping for batch one. Those labels do not establish a future batch’s final price or every destination’s delivered cost. A UK buyer should not treat a US-dollar headline as a sterling quote inclusive of local charges; UK delivery eligibility and a final landed price were not verified here.
Local AI does not make every feature offline
Ghost’s FAQ says Core runs AI and stores memory locally without a subscription. The same FAQ explicitly requires internet access for web search, email and over-the-air software updates and fixes. There is a useful boundary: computation and memory can be local while a task still needs an external service.
For example, asking a local model to work with available material and asking an agent to retrieve a new web page involve different dependencies. The diagram shows this separation rather than promising that all personal-assistant tasks work with the network disconnected. It is an explanation of Ghost’s stated design, not a privacy or security audit.
How to approach the next batch
Start at the official Core product page below and read the current availability message. Registering interest expresses interest; without a confirmed order and terms, it should not be treated as an allocated machine. The page reviewed did not provide a confirmed batch-two price or shipping date.
Before committing, request the final configuration, delivery destination, total payable amount and applicable returns terms through Ghost’s published support route. Then compare the actual tasks you need with the offline/online boundary. The next useful evidence is a firm second-batch offer and independent testing of shipped hardware, rather than assuming a launch specification proves everyday usefulness.
