speaking of, if anything the prices should have REDUCED during the most intense COVID19 period from 2020 to 2022. Before COVID19 hit, for example, we were making about 6,500 boards per order for Asus, when COVID hit our team started receiving orders of 7,000 boards which is 500 more than pre COVID, then during the peak times of the pandemic in 2021, we were making almost 10,000 boards PER ORDER, not per month and none of our departments ever lacked chips, plastic, metal or any other materials that would hinder/slow down our manufacturing of 9,000-9,500 boards per order aka. there was never a so called chip shortage or any kind of material shortage, in fact, we were manufacturing MORE than we did before COVID19 hit, so if anything the entire market filled with Asus laptops and monitors should have CHEAPER products instead of it seeing an almost 30% (in some countries more than 40%) increase in product pricing...
our factory still orders materials for the same price as it did before covid bullshit and before so called inflation, material costs literally didnt increase whatsoever, a ton of plastic is still the same cost as it was before, a ton of magnezium is still the same price, a ton of aluminium is still the same price, all the chips, circuitboard parts, controllers... its all fucking the same price as it used to be. cost of manufacturing didnt go up a single penny and yet here we are, with tech products being artificially price inflated by 20-30-40% because of ((((COVID19))))) and (((((INFLATION))))) so dont give me those acting retarded responses
