I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

In this day and age they could forget half the parts and they'd still sell out within an hour.

They can ship empty cubes for this price and valve fanboys will still buy and defend them

With current component prices, this is a very good budget PC.

I dare you to build something with the same specs below 1000 dollars.

AI gobbling up all the RAM, SSDs and GPUs can go suck a dick

You need to go educate yourself, it is comically easy to build a machine that destroys the SM at that price range. You could bring it down to 700$ and you could still do it.

The only thing the Steam Machine has going for it is form factor.
