$949???
You can buy a gaming PC and dual monitors etc. for less.
Is that actually true or was it true when the Steam Deck also had a lower price?
Not in the year 2026 you can't.
Buy the cheapest one and upgrade the ssd…
Idk if that is still cheaper nowadays, but that used to be the cheapest option
That's tough even before the price hikes. Would like to see the breakdown of that $949.
That sounds infinitely less portable
Prices have been a little weird lately. After a quick check on Newegg I'm seeing prices:
16GB of RAM - $250
Low-Mid GPU - $700
1TB SSD - $250
[dead]
Just checked my receipt and I paid $689 CAD for my OLED 512GB. Current price is $1,129 CAD. Almost doubled, damn.
