@matrix i mean, people enjoy the steam deck for what it is, right? i think you could sell it for more than $500 and have it be fine. i don't think you're going to get like, a 4k ultra experience on this thing lol, it's definitely meant to target a more console-like experience with the added bonus of it being a PC.
that's just like how the earlier steam machines were, like the alienware alpha. around the same performance as the current consoles, a bit more expensive because it is has all the PC capability.
