Yes.  They are sort of limited attributes in their current instantiation - and without product typing it would be difficult to extend them...

I guess this computer store is an example how sub products could be used:

Sort of but not really.

the sub product feature act as a psuedo category, combining simular products on one page. The parent never exists, and never has a quantity but is used to show very simular products on one product page.

Bundled products,  is like having a product that needs to be assembled, the sub parts are individual products that have an inventory quantity. These sub parts are grouped together. each group is display Usually as a drop down select.

an example would be  like custom built computer. The actual final product does not exist until it is built. But  the parts to build it do . once it is purchased it does have an inventory.

Eos does not yet have bundled products, but will.

Hello :)

Regarding sub products.. is this something like bundling products.. (for a sale)?

Best regards
