IMO next major sale they do a decent discount on the low end OLED and even if they sell at minimal profits that’s ecosystem lock-in and a boost for Linux in the household.

By the sound of it, it was minimal profit at base price, and while things should get cheaper to manufacture and sell over time, hardware prices are rapidly increasing. I wouldn’t be suprised if they need to increase their prices to break even, going forward - esspecially given that if its too cheap, buisness or industry customers might start buying it.
