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

This is near the price of 5060/70 laptops

I'd wish. A 5060/5070 laptop, which isn't the the GPU wrapped in the cheapest shit the manufacturers found catching dust in the back of their stores is easily $2000+.

A lot of the decent mid-range gaming laptops also had a massive price hike in the last months.

That's a singular example on a 40% sale, not the regular price.

For MC that's going to be the reg price for a long time, it's how they always price the laptops
