@cstross @j404 @graydon folks, you are trying to 'explain' to somebody who has shipped north of 100k systems since 1991. I do not know how the sausage is made; I'm the sausage maker. The Neo is not cheap. That LCD is not cheap. High contrast, high resolution IPS 60Hz 13" panel plus integration, that's a $90+ BOM by itself not including tooling and hinges which by themselves are likely ~$10-20. That's EASILY a $50 BOM keyboard. Fusing post-hoc costs backend, it is extremely not free. etc.
