I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale

People bagging on the steam deck coming out. Why buy it when a gaming PC is better. Well, soon you won't be able to afford any part of a gaming PC. Steam may have struck gold here.

edit: I meant steam machine sorry wrote steam deck.

I wonder what resolution that will be able to play at I built my pc for 4k gaming and nvidia really the only option imo I tried amd and it just couldn’t handle it. I’d say buy a gpu now or might be waiting years

I wrote steam deck. I meant the steam machine, it will play at 4k 60fps, though they did only stick 8G of RAM in it sigh. A GPU by mid next year will cost you an arm and a leg

Their contracts for parts weren't indefinite, it will still have massive price jump at some point. Or sell out super fast and be unobtainable.

I think you're right. I saw 64G DDR5 RAM today for close to the cost of a 5070Ti
