Just like the Deck (after price increase) and the Controller. Great, but absurd at that price. Not necessarily blaming Valve, but the fact remains.
That much money for essentially a small PC with a Ryzen 5 5600 and a mini RTX 3060. Who would buy that? You can just build that yourself, for less than half the price.

Definitely not less than half the price. The build I see linked in this thread comes in around $950 with as close to equivalent specs as possible. The machines people on YouTube were building when the specs were announced, before the RAM and SSD prices spiked, were coming in a little under $700 at the time.

Half the price? Nah, not with new parts. Not even close. GN did a spec equivalent comparison with atx parts and it was like 9xx. Not 1050, but definitely not half the price and definitely not purpose built, tiny from factor.
