The component shortages thanks to AI have hit Valve as in the US, Canada and some parts of Asia all models of Steam Deck are completely out of stock.

    That’s not good. There’s zero chance they’ll just drop a new one before the other stuff is out. Either they can’t manufacture them at the current price point any more, or they were caught out by increasing demand, which is likely caused by the current hardware piece increases.

    Because they’re releasing a new one?

      Probably because ram prices have gotten high enough that they cannot price the console at a reasonable price.

        If that was true, then anything that uses RAM would be following a similar theme.

          Well, things like raspberry pi’s are already getting more expensive. Big companies are insulated a little bit longer, but they will get more expensive also.

      Not likely. They’re waiting for a bigger leap in tech before putting out a truly new version.

      If you can find out how, you could probably block this entire community. Its going to pretty much exclusively handheld gaming in here.

      Handheld gaming using 15W, VS my laptop using 100W, VS my desktop using 600W.

      I have been using the steam deck daily since I am not concerned to the grid at all.
