I didn&#x27;t realize their margins were under 10% on some of their models. They seemed pricey enough in comparison to some of their competitors that I just assumed they had healthy margins across the range.<p>Economies of scale are a real thing, I hope Framework gets there.<p>(FWIW, I have a 7640U FW13 and I&#x27;m a pretty big fan of it.)

Why would they do this rather than just raising the price?
