185 185  **Yes, there are several points to keep in mind:**
186 -
187 187  * The current unstable political and financial situation is affecting the components market and logistics.
188 188  * 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.
189 189  * As a result, the configuration had to be optimized: the eMMC capacity was reduced from 32 GB to 16 GB.
190 190  * Prices are currently fixed based on quotes already received from Chinese manufacturers, but they may change in the future.

193 193  1. Once registration closes, the total number of participants is finalized.
194 194  1. An order is placed with the manufacturer for the remaining boards.
