$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

[bcraven]

That sounds infinitely less portable

That's tough even before the price hikes. Would like to see the breakdown of that $949.

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
