The headline is that it's a $199 laptop but the link in the article is to a $280 laptop. Is this a mistake or did the price go up?

I did a search on Walmart's site for the name of the laptop, "Motile M141", and the price came up $280, so I think it has gone up.

I'd love an inexpensive AMD laptop, but I'll probably go with a Pinebook Pro. It lists at $200, and that price seems to be firm.

An AMD laptop for 200-250 would be a steal, IMO. The performance is far better (for comparison https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1912177-HU-MANJAROPO12) and x86 support is something I wouldn't want to pass on if I didn't have to. Unfortunately, even the cheapest ones in Germany go for at least 330 Euros.

It was $199 when the article published a few days ago. They raised the price.

The prices for both the M141 and M142 have been fluctuating on a near daily basis. I picked up the Ryzen 5 3500U M142 for $329 couple weeks ago.
