And that's after half a year after the first machines to come to the market.
I love the Z13, but it's clearly a niche machine, so I'm assuming they are having a really hard time manufacturing the chips ? All the capacity is getting eaten by Apple ?

Outside of laptops, Beelink and co. are making NUCs with them which are relatively affordable!
I do agree, the scarcity has limited their opportunity to assess the growth opportunity.
For instance they went for the standard lower resolution display (1920x1440 for 14" vs 2560x1600 for 13" on the Z13). The thermals also looked better on the Z13, which comes partly with the form factor, partly with Asus optimizing for that for so many years.
Of cours the Z13 keyboard is meh, I expect most owners to have it detached 90% of the time and handle the machine more like a standalone screen/touch/pen input.
The vapor chamber cooling on the HP seems efficient, but the back side venting on the flow is clearly better.
I’m annoyed that I’ll probably have to pick a Framework 13 with less CPU and much less GPU merely because of availability.
