Yeah, that’s not exactly an insubstantial increase.
Comment on The LCD Steam Deck is no longer being manufactured

Inflation is a bitch. That’s tame compared to, say, beef.

Really taking the old expression of “Apples and oranges” to the extreme there, friend.

The oled model is roughly the same price as the original Steam Deck launched. And there are so many improvements, not just screen and battery. And given that other devices get more expensive over time, and with the higher RAM prices than before, its actually a good price; relatively speaking.

The touch pads and touch screen are sooooo much better. They drove me a little nuts when I had my LCD.

I have nothing negative to say about the Touch Pads, in fact I fall in love. But the Touch Screen is not very good, especially compared to who good touch works on smartphones in example. Didn’t know it was improved too!

$649: 512GB LED vs $549.00 512GB OLED

That completely ignores the $400 price point model though.
