this is a solid deal, but when comparing it to the steam deck you're forgetting to add a battery, controller, two touchpads, and a touch screen all in a tight form factor


not to justify the current steam deck price, blame AI for that

half the price of the 1TB Steam Deck while offering a stronger CPU, the faster Radeon 680M iGPU, more RAM, and equal storage 🤔

Exactly. The fanboys posting "but Valve is taking a loss on this" are full of malarkey. They are not and never were. The issue is they want to broaden their margins like the big PC brands and they pushed too hard. The RAM AI situation is bad, but this product proves it is not so bad that they need to charge over $700 for a 2020 era product with just 16GB of RAM.

Or people just don't understand what inventory means. Very easy to sell existing inventory at old prices (see Xbox Ally X which has had stock on shelves since launch, or the OLED steam deck before they ran out of stock). While new production runs are impacted by component shortages. Everyone acting like they haven't had hundreds if not thousands of these mini PCs sitting in a warehouse for years...

Can always count on people complaining on the Internet tho. Don't expect the average person online to understand tho. lotta macro and micro economics come into this. The reality is Valve could have raised prices back when the initial scares had other companies raising prices. Think people are just underestimating how bad this is gonna get. Lenovo has basically priced itself out of the handheld market completely but it's small change in their portfolio. Definitely about to be a drought and cancelation of products. And then much higher prices when inventory is restocked.

Time to buckle down and just enjoy what you have or snatch existing inventory that's left. (someone who buys inventory of components and has seen lead times explode). Only way to quickly restock anything right now is to pay a hefty sum.

I just noticed that the deal listing says: Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega Graphics

That's incorrect. The 7735HS has 680m, RDNA 2 based, not the badly outdated RX Vega architecture. It should outperform the Steam Deck's 8 CU / 512 shading units GPU, as the 680m has 12 CUs, 768 shading units. It generally performs 15-25% faster than the Steam Deck when both are provided their max TDPs.


The price history says everything. This was a $297 PC in December. Now, this is a decent deal for a general tinkering PC with enough RAM to perform most tasks, even if you dedicated 8GB to VRAM. You used to be able to get a 32GB RAM, Zen 4 eight-core, 1TB SSD mini for $400 quite easily last year. Now, that's trending up to $600 for budget PCs with those specs.


The Rampocolypse shows no mercy. As others are saying, the Steam Deck price raises of $240-$300 yesterday are a warning that this is only getting worse into the second half of 2026. Inventories are depleted, and price increases in DRAM and NAND will continue to roll out to consumer products this year. The big 3 DRAM companies (Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung) moved significant production to higher-margin HBM, so they have little incentive to spin up new DDR5 production until margins for those products are even better than HBM. That will eventually happen, but it's looking increasingly like 2027 may bring some relief, with 2026 being a total bust.

Not exactly comparable. The Steam Deck is a fully self contained PC. Includes battery, touch OLED display, full controller, multiple touch pads, gyro, rumble, etc. All of that has major cost associated with it Do you think all of that should equal the price of this item....which lacks all of those? Are those components free or nearly?

The Legion, Ally, etc don't cost the same as their "mini PC" analogs, so why should the SD?

And If Valve is just gouging for fun, why aren't there a million companies coming out with knockoff SD clones for half the price? You'd think AliExpress and Amazon would be covered up by them. Plenty of retro handheld manufacturers could pump these out by the millions if they wanted to...yet aren't....why? Real world cost vs market sale price.

FWIW, just because someone doesn't hold your same opinion, doesn't mean they are a "fanboy." Your opinion is completely and totally subjective. And just a guess, is highly influenced by your dislike of Valve. The fact you are already name calling hypothetical "fanboys", sight unseen, for an argument you shoved down the theoretical person's throat, kinda proves it. Wink

To be fair, they are many schools of thoughts for pricing methods and most companies use a hybrid approach.
-Actual Cost: You price based on the exact "landed cost" of a specific batch. I bought it for X, so I sell it for Y. When the next batch arrives at a different cost, you reprice.
-Average Cost: You blend costs using a weighted average based on inventory volume. If you buy 10 items at $10 and 90 items at $20, your average cost is $19, not $15.
-Replacement Cost: You look entirely forward. You price based on what it will cost to restock the shelf tomorrow, ignoring what you actually paid for current stock. This creates profit swings on paper but safeguards your cash flow so you can always afford next week's inventory.
-Market Pricing: You (mostly) ignore internal costs and charge what the market will bear. Console makers (tend to) do this by selling hardware at a break even or mild loss, because they know they will make up the profit later on software and subscriptions.

IMO Valve is likely doing (mostly) the last.

I've considered trying something like that for fun, I'd likely never really use it IRL though. Doesn't seem hard. A portable monitor, 100W-ish power bank, USB C hub, and maybe a 3D printed box mounted via the monitor's VESA holes to button everything up nicely. Making it look not janky would be half the adventure.

For sure. I didn't want to go too deep. I just think it's funny that people are crying about valve being greedy when sticker shock is about to hit everything. Try to inject too many feelings when like you listed, there's a plethora of reasons price could increase.

I figured I was preaching to the choir but honestly did it for the other person's benefit since they seem to projecting their own feelings on Valve's pricing structure, which like you alluded to, is no where near as aggressive as most of their other peers in the PC handheld market.

The other user also seems to also be confusing the price of something like this mini PC (likely old stock) vs a brand new production full scale mobile game system. Would be just as asinine to measure the cost of bulk coffee at your house per serving against the street price of a fully prepared Venti Iced Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks.

FWIW, this is a tempting price. That SSD and ram are worth $$$ Wink

24GB DDR5 is at least $250 still. I consider this a decent value
