      The oled model is roughly the same price as the original Steam Deck launched. And there are so many improvements, not just screen and battery. And given that other devices get more expensive over time, and with the higher RAM prices than before, its actually a good price; relatively speaking.

        The touch pads and touch screen are sooooo much better. They drove me a little nuts when I had my LED.

          I have nothing negative to say about the Touch Pads, in fact I fall in love. But the Touch Screen is not very good, especially compared to who good touch works on smartphones in example. Didn’t know it was improved too!

            That completely ignores the $400 price point model though.

              No, you ignore that both models are different classes. You compare 64gb model without SSD against 512gb SSD model. It’s like saying the 2tb model is more expensive.

                …that’s how different price points work, yes.

      Yeah, that’s not exactly an insubstantial increase.

        Inflation is a bitch. That’s tame compared to, say, beef.
