Well yeah. When the things price point is driven by ram and not display it makes little sense anymore.

Wouldn't surprise me if there's also a "depletion of LCD screen stock and/or 7nm APU stock" ingredient in the Doesn't Make Sense Anymore soup as well.
Dang AI comimg for our ~~jobs~~ steamdecks!
They’ve been telegraphing this for a while — long before the RAM crisis
I like my LCD model; I'm glad I got it at a great deal. But I thought it was going to be the last batch of LCD ones back then.
Honestly, somehow I thought that they already stopped making the lcd version, so this is news to me
As I speak I'm two emails deep with support on my randomly bricked steam deck. Is been horrible and has stopped working three times in two years just randomly. This time it is fully unresponsive, six months out of warranty.

Every product line has occasional duds
Maybe after lcds go down we can do the 2
