Supply and demand. And im sure they wish they could offer lower prices for more sales.

If you can't find the $700 quality laptop already on the market that you want... Maybe you should start a company to offer it? See how profitable the business is (or realistically, isn't).

There's very good reasons $700 laptops are mostly e-waste straight off the assembly line, old models, etc. There's no profit to be made offering current generation mid-range/higher quality laptops for $700 without doing serious corner cutting at every opportunity.

Its called competition. Supply and demand. As son as there's another Framework-like company or two, the companies will need to find new ways to differentiate themselves - One possibility would be on pricing.
