The Steam Deck starting price is 2x what it was a year ago
The original Steam Deck launched four years ago to massive praise, and I was one of those people who absolutely loved it. It released with a very reasonable entry price of $399, making handheld PC gaming accessible to a massive audience. In 2023, Valve followed up on that success by putting out two new editions

Quinn Nelson on the MacBook Neo
Here's a quote from Quinn Nelson's latest video about the MacBook Neo:
