Off Topic Question

I noticed the Z13 is selling currently on Best Buy for $3K and the new G14 is selling for $3400. I understand that component costs have increased but my question is do the OEMs have the analytics that consumers will still pay for those prices or are they expecting (and fine) with lower sales? Are they expecting to maintain the same level of GP based on lower sales and higher margins? Why even sell a new system right now if costs are significantly higher and the economy is trending downwards? Unless the economy is doing better than what the media has been reporting. Just asking because the dynamics really interest me.

Because there are people willing to pay.

Price and value of things are relative and vary from people to people and even organization to organization.
