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.

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

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 The 7735HS has 680m, RDNA 2 based, not the badly outdated RX Vega architecture.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.

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.

-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.
/rant.
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 $$$
