I just..
Its such a weird place to be in life to have bought technology years ago and to have it be more valuable now than it used to be. I don't think I'd would have bought a steam deck at this pricepoint, whereas I bought two at the lower price point (the LED, then the OLED)
Turns out I should have bought an OLED even though I already had the first version...
Protip, anything you want, just in general - get it "now". Especially if you're in the US, there will never be a better time. We've not yet begun to feel the supply chain impacts from Iran. Shit's fucked, it's not slowing down, and there's no wand that can wave to fix it.
Yeah I got some storage already. I think I'll get some more if I see a "discount"
Eh, I didn't go for the OLED upgrade and I'm still stoked about mine.
Neither did I, but lately it's been docked since I bent a CPU pin on my regular PC and have yet to unbend it, so it's been a temporary replacement. OLED wouldn't have made a difference in most of its use time in my case.
Was using mine docked as well for a couple weeks while I waited for my RMAs to go through. Went really well.
Just wake from Bluetooth. Which is honestly crazy they didn't include it to begin with.
I didn't know that wasn't originally possible. I don't use Bluetooth with it at all though. My headset and the controller I was using both has dongles, and now I use the Steam controller with it, so no change.
The mouse and keyboard are just regular corded ones as well.
My laptop is worth more than i bought it 3 years ago. Strange world.
Wait until that imbecile will let China take over Taiwan.
I was an OG pre-order and this price point would have been a big fat hell nah from me. Even more true 4+ years later.
I was just looking up strix halo prices because I want another processing machine. The framework platform I was looking at last year is 1200 more expensive (just the base price) than last year.
The 128gb variant was $1999 to start with last year... https://frame.work/products/desktop-diy-amd-aimax300/configuration/new
And that's not counting the NVMe, which also has seen major increases in market price.
I got a 128GB version last year with an 8TB NVMe drive. Was, IIRC, $2,500 at that point.
Now it's $4,178.
Yeah I saw the price hike and I didn't even bother going further with the configuration. I could do a major home improvement project at these prices. The only fear I have is that its only going to get worse.
Same, and I too bought the LED and OLED. I sold my LED for $420 (with the new 1 TB SSD from the OLED I bought, added back grips and the original dock) to my friend cause he wanted to get one for his brother.
I gave the LED one to my partner and now we can play cozy games side by side in bed.
