    In the current totally FUCKED hardware market, this is honestly better than I was expecting. I just unfortunately think now is a shit time to buy computers in general.

    Sound expensive but honestly i wonder how the performance is gonna be. I build my current pc for about this price and it has lower spec than this(mostly because local hardware price is 15-20% higher).

      It really depends on what folks want to play on it, the Steam Deck can still play many thousands of games perfectly well, this machine will be better, and it also gives developers a target to aim for when optimising their games, it’s already been proven with the Steam Deck that there’s appetite to do this.
