@freezr yeah, I think it was a combination of factors. Lower ram and ssd prices, but they were also trying to build a brand. Now they are one.
I got a good deal in January on a BOS Game fwiw, because they were just breaking in? $310 for a BOS Game M3 Intel Ultra 7 155H, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 2x512GB Gen4 SSD.
