Methodology
The index tracks manufacturer-listed prices for complete systems (laptops, desktops, mini PCs, all-in-ones, servers, NAS and more) across 33 brands in the Plug PCs catalog, in USD. Movement is matched-model: each product's current price is compared to its own price 30 days earlier, and the figure shown is the median of those per-product changes. Models added or removed inside the window do not move the index. Snapshot statistics cover in-stock, USD-priced, new machines only; a refurbished or open-box price is a price for a different good and would distort every median. List prices that never sold are excluded from discount figures. The movers lists exclude moves beyond ±80% and machines with implausibly inflated list prices, since those come from configuration changes and list-price theater. Prices are re-checked continuously against each manufacturer's store.
