Inconsistencies with product pricing?

Matt4500X

On the Acer US website, the Acer Swift 3 with either the Ryzen 5 4500U or 7 4700U have $20 price difference and as far as I can tell the only differences are more RAM and an upgraded CPU. For the Acer Aspire 5, there's a Ryzen 5 4500U and 7 4700U model, with the only difference being the CPU and the price difference is $130, which makes sense, comparing to other manufacturers. My question is why is the Swift priced differently when upgrading configurations?

this is called marketing voodoo! ;-) the chat line will also not be able to answer you.

as a consumer I would be more concerned if I can get a 16GB 4700U config for a competitive price like $700-750. i got mine, a 2-in-1 16GB 4500U for $600.
