At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine?
I don't get the target audience, I can justify a steam deck because it's portable but unless it's cheaper than just buying a PC, why wouldn't I get a normal PC build for everything not just taylored for gaming

Steam Deck is still worth it four years later, says poll, but people are starting to think "it's about time" for a sequel
Worst time to be thinking that given the current state of the market I don't know why people are wanting this new hardware released NOW of all times, shortages would make prices ridiculous. Keep the Steam Deck 2 away until prices go back to normal (whenever that is), same for the Steam Machine and F

Rumor has it, Switch 2 is getting a price hike this year, despite Nintendo recently dismissing the idea
I can guarantee Nintendo has got multiple manufacturing and supply contracts in place to secure parts. It's not like they haven't seen this coming. Valve discontinuing one model of Steam Deck is to be expected. It's not a huge seller (SD has always been a fairly niche piece of kit), and unlike Ninte

You got a more powerful device for cheaper than the highest storage Steam deck. Some one is definitely blessed.

Can anyone convince me why I should keep my barely used Steam Deck over just getting the ROG Xbox Ally (X)?
I get it. Loading up desktop mode to move files around after you find out where they are for every game, or trying every proton version for games that have hardware daily limits, adding everything you use via windows to launch through steam, and hope those programs don't need drivers that may not in

Convince me not to buy Steam Deck Oled
As newer and more demanding games come out, the Deck will feel left behind. It's already weak to begin with anyway. New options like the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2 do better in performance. SteamOS support for other devices is also becoming better as Valve continues to update it, as with other Linu

Xbox Ally X vs. Steam Deck OLED (under SteamOS usage)
Where are you buying a steam deck OLED for half the price? Because valve sure as hell isn’t selling them. If you buy one on eBay it’s gonna run you about $800+.

97% FASTER! Forza Horizon 6 Steam Deck vs Z1 Extreme vs Z2 Go (SteamOS)
I don’t think anyone is questioning these new handhelds performance, it’s just that they’re immensely expensive. A steam deck 2 for me would be this performance but for the same price point as the current steamdeck oled. And im certain thats what Valve is also aiming for.

Should I have just gotten the Steam Deck?
Well, you can’t get the SD right now. No one can, at a reasonable price at least. And who knows when or if it will be back, and I am willing to bet it won’t be for the same price as before. PS, Xbox, Switch.. all got a price increase. Valve is not escaping the AI plague and electronics shortages. It
