Budget? It's $600 for a device that's already worse off then a console power wise.

Are we really comparing this thing to a console? Because that's a whole other conversation of the economics of PC vs. console in general.

Compare it to any other handheld and even the maximum price of $600 looks very appealing.

But you can buy the $400 one, spend another $50 and get a 1TB SSD to swap in. Yes, this does require some special knowledge but not super hard and worth noting regardless.

That's without getting into the variety of hardware and software features this thing has that none of those other ones do.
