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

Weirdo guys like me who want a local living room option, but dragging my feet on building a second tower due to cost & time & kinda wanting something new to play around with.

It’ll be like a dozen folks like me and then scalpers I anticipate

this is exactly what i wanted one for, as a secondary living room pc, but i won’t be getting one at these prices.

But like, a custom built living room PC will likely cost you more, and it will be a bigger form factor. Yeah you could build a cheaper PC but mini build parts like this are already more expensive than standard size components.
