I love my original 512GB LCD Deck and I’ve been encouraging a lot of people to get one every since it came out.

However… at the current price point it just doesn’t make sense. Right now you can buy Snapdragon 8 Elite handhelds for less than half of a Steam Deck’s price. Or an Ayaneo Konkr Fit with much better specs and almost 2x larger battery for $999.

Everything is getting more expensive, but at this price I couldn’t recommend anyone a Steam Deck with a clear conscience.
