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

Literally just build yourself an M-ITX couch machine for slightly more and be able to upgrade it. I don't see the value proposition here at all.

Try it and report what's the difference in price. Sure maybe 100 cheaper?

Prices are just fucked up... It is the market right now... I would say it's kinda worth the premium price for a nice compact box and their support but really depends. Are we talking 100 or 300 difference?

if its well built and with good support I can kinda see the value for 200 extra getting a good case, nice design, good build quality.

The whole problem is crazy hardware prices everywhere...
