MODERATORS
They had said on release (a few years ago) that they were selling the base model LCD just a bit above "at-cost" to try to break it into the market and capture share. It worked.
Now that RAM prices have >3x'ed, they would likely be selling that model at a significant loss if they keep manufacturing it. Completely logical move.
Bad for the consumer, but RAM being sucked up by shitty never-accurate, lying plagerism machines with the goal of replacing jobs for extra corporate profit is also bad for the consumer and probably a large part of the cause behind this production stop.
