How about you just make more laptops first…it’s been week after week of no stock on 15inch L and T series…and the one or two models that do show up, are priced 500-800 more then they should be
Yes, that’s why the laptops that are available are more expensive than usual. Because the supply cannot meet the demand, the demand has been artificially reduced using inflated prices.
You realize that there is an ongoing global situation regarding semiconductor material and microprocessors, right? Even though the shortage from earlier is “over,” there’ve been periods of oversupply.
Some chip manufacturers (like Samsung) are actually slowing down production due to decreased profits after their customers stopped ordering them to clear out existing inventory since supply of microprocessors is not as much of a concern anymore.
