exit1Electronics are not construction material.
Price per volume/area does not come into play.
Well... in a sense it can if you consider buying bulk cheaper like how buying a short piece of PVC is significantly more expensive(relatively) then buying a longer piece and cutting it up yourself.
DS3 dont have multi color LEDs or a aluminium top case.
exit1@exit1 that's a bit like saying notebook should be far cheaper than their larger counterparts. You are paying that but extra for how compact it is and the level of adjustability that's fit in. That being said, I'm not paying 25 dollars to ship it to the UK when it doesn't have a uk layout
honqThen I could compare the mini to the k70, which is full size aluminium and is $10-20 more or even the $170 Tesoro Colada, which also has aluminium casing and RGB side LEDS as well as the standard backlighting.
