The "rage" is largely surrounding the price, not the Machine hardware itself. The Deck sold like hotcakes at $400.

We'll see actual outrage when the masses defer new smartphone upgrades due to price bumps.

I'm pretty sure they would have loved to put a better GPU chip in but that would have cost too much extra in these mad days.

If there's anything good to be found about the Ramageddon, it's that people will hopefully keep using their perfectly good phones and other hardware a bit longer between upgrades.
