    I would play so much stardew valley on that thing. I’ll have to keep an eye out for a second hand one. 850$ is a lot. Especially since I’d have to wipe ShitstainOS™ off it to install something usable like steam os or Arch.

    $900 and you have to put SteamOS on it yourself?

    Why wouldn’t you just buy a cheaper Steamdeck that already has SteamOS and a 1tb drive? GPD, reinventing the wheel.

      GPD has been in the handheld PC game for quite some time. But, unlike Valve who can sell their deck with little revenue thanks to their storefront, they actually need to make a profit on the individual units.

    Those are pretty nice specs. I would buy one right now if I didn’t have a Deck already, and if it didn’t come with a Windows tax.
