190 190  **Yes, there are several points to keep in mind:**
191 -
192 192  * The current unstable political and financial situation is affecting the components market and logistics.
193 193  * This has been especially pronounced in the memory market — due to sharp price spikes, the cost of memory components (DDR3 eMMC) has increased up to 5 times.
194 194  * As a result, the configuration had to be optimized: the eMMC capacity was reduced from 32 GB to 16 GB.
195 195  * Prices are currently fixed based on quotes already received from Chinese manufacturers, but they may change in the future.
