I wish people (nerds like us) would use better language. It's not overpriced, because a product is more than a pile of chips and tech specs. Do you realize you're implicitly assuming CPU speed == product quality and how untrue that is?

It provides incredible value for its price (hours of fun per $) when compared to basically any other form of entertainment

I like this perspective. I was thinking in terms of enjoyment I derived from switch 1 vs steam deck. For me, the Deck has already unlocked way more fun!

And when you don't need the Steam Deck for gaming anymore, it is still useful as a home server.
