@AudraTran @frameworkcomputer Mind you, I haven't done the research on how much each upgrade costs at fair market value, and I definitely wouldn't be shocked to learn they're still price gouging. I'm just saying the difference between the 64 GB and 256 GB models is more than "196 GB."

@curtmack @frameworkcomputer The "better screen" is not an objective position. More of a preference (not mine). And both displays are actually quite bad.

You can buy a 1TB (double the highest available storage) for ~$100. The difference between 64GB SD and 512GB is $250 in price, with no other appreciable differences.

Also, while I respect the logistics of assembly lines, I would appreciate the exclusion of the (bad) charging brick and a proportionate decrease in price.

@AudraTran @frameworkcomputer Fair; I don't have any electronics with really good screens (besides my phone I guess), so I don't have a lot to compare the Deck's screen with.

As a general disclaimer, I paid for part of my Steam Deck with $250 in Steam Bux (thanks to Dota 2 cosmetics), so I didn't compare many options. If you're actually paying for 100% of your device's cost (and don't specifically want the Linux/SteamOS experience out of the box), there are much better options.
