Component Prices
What Woot's current laptop and desktop listings imply each component costs, estimated daily from 497 configurations (last updated October 24, 2026). These are model estimates from Woot prices, not retail part prices.

The trend lines cover the last 90 days and the last year, one point per day the figure was measured (hover for its first and latest values), each with the change since its first point. "Based on" counts the listings in groups of similar builds that differ in that component. A component without enough of them is priced like its nearest relative (DDR5 like DDR4, NVMe like SSD) until it has its own figure.
Everything else
A typical listing's price before its RAM and storage: $385. The figures below are added to or taken off that.

How it works
RAM and storage are priced from groups of similar builds: a listing's variants, together with other listings of the same brand, device type, CPU, GPU, OS and condition. The gap between a 16GB/512GB and a 32GB/1TB build in such a group is mostly memory and storage. A regression over every such gap gives a price per GB for each kind.
Everything else is fitted across listings, after taking each one's RAM and storage cost off its price. That fit is regularized: a CPU family seen on two or three listings is pulled toward zero rather than trusted. Each figure is relative to a typical listing, which is why older CPUs come out negative.
Each machine page shows its price split the same way, and how far it sits from the model's price. Browse can sort by that ("Best value vs model") or keep only listings a given amount under it, and a subscription to that filter emails you when a new one appears.
