Actually my bad I misquoted that it's not twice as much as a steam deck it's cheap $499 I was thinking of the big boy ones that are a thousand plus sorry my bad
I don't know I think If it's almost twice as much then it steam deck they shouldn't be so greedy with price. It's not like the components are super expensive on their own although some of the custom items have already been worked and machined and so things like casing and other manufacturing techniques isn't something that we need to buy over and over again as far as RD on already designed and being capable of producing casings and other things in numbers to have lites and airs and stuff.

Shortly before shipping the Air Lite consoles by late August, AYA Neo decided to upgrade the specs with a fingerprint sensor, improved cooling solution and configurable APU TDP that can save some battery time. Initial pricing is not changing, regardless.
