    I’d love to own one, $600 is not bad, that’s like the price of a single video card, and for what I do on pc, retro gaming and web browsing/light multimedia, seems like a sweet deal.

      For the use cases you describe you could get by comfortably with a $100 used thinkpad T470 or T480 from ebay.

      I know because that’s basically all I do. A surprising number of games run fairly well.

      On the rare occasion that I really want to play something needing a GPU I’ll grab a month of gforce now.

      Is there official pricing info released somewhere? I thought they had been quiet on it due to the RAM crisis.

        Nothing yet, just went off a gaming blog article for a guess at the price.

          I expect this to be at a minimum $1000, but I hope I’m wrong

    All this news and nothing about what I really care about: Steam Frame.

      Not directly Frame related but steam on arm is working now, I’ve ran it on my retroid pocket 5. Hopefully that keeps plugging along, I know that’s something people are excited for about Frame.

    steam hardware turns me into a little consoomer. i loved the first steam controller and the second one earnestly seems like a forever controller. that’s a huge element of it for me, so far all of the steam hardware products have had great access to repair resources and guides. i honestly think my steam deck will last as long as i take care of it, and it is genuinely an amazingly capable device with access to more games than i could play in a lifetime

      Honestly trying to figure out how to justify the new steam controller because it looks so cool. I don’t play games with a controller often enough. You’re right though, steam hardware is so good. Shame about the ram prices because the lcd steam deck was a steal for a bit.
