I guess if you know you will sell much less because of ram/ssd prices, you have to make up for it in price, so you boost it even more. There will be couple of people who buy this (people who don't care) and Asus survives for some more time. But yeah, this whole situation is bad and people come last, because it's about money and companies don't care when it's about money...

What's up with those prices? Yeah memory and storage chip shortage, yeah prices are insane, but why bother launching these under these conditions?

Jesus fucking christ...
