What the fuck is going on? I also noticed 4060/4070 laptops which were under $1000 are also shooting up in price
Oh gee, I wonder.
Who's going to tell him?
Can the Ally X really play Star field?
What the fuck are you talking about
i'm glad i got my 4060 laptop for 700$
He doesnt know
You been living under a rock?
It's almost like Trump got into office and completely fucked the country in less than half a year or something anon
Elections have consequences.
The election was last year and prices were still normal after it
Yes, and?
So stop trying to force politics into the video games board
Are there any handhelds that can run team ninjas dog shit optimizes games well?
Kek, okay. Enjoy your troll thread.
this person has the exact same voting rights as me
Whew no wonder we are cooked.
Ally X for sale for under $500
The Ally X was never this cheap. You're thinking of the OG Ally.
Anon, the Switch 2 will be the LAST gaming system that'll be less than $500.
paying an extra 10% for vidya is all it took to turn Anon Babble into radical leftists
just wait a year you retards, once the tariffs play out we will be getting everything cheaper because we’ll have trade deals and manufacturing. you don’t NEED a handheld pc right now, you WANT one
Is this the chink attempt of trump tariff thread again? Wow how original

Try paying attention to the news every morning so you're not out of the loop.
I don’t trust the news because they a.ways report negatively about Trump. It’s too biased.
yup it's another chink thread.
You had years to buy them, your fault waitfag. Don't forget to tip them
Last Black Friday you could get the OG for under $300 and the X open box for under 500
Times of India
Radio Free Asia
I don't get why people get these fucking atrociously designed chinkshit handhelds over the Steam Deck.
They're slightly more powerful and don't have linux dragging the system down
Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.
You only know the art of war and yet are already faltering to the dude who wrote the Art of the Deal.
ehh I'll pick one up some other time
why buy the same hardware but one year closer to being too underpowered
once the tariffs play out we will be getting everything cheaper because we’ll have trade deals and manufacturing
we’ll have trade deals and manufacturing
What trade deals, moron? That orange retard threatened 40% tariffs on countries that don't even have tariffs on US products.
aaaaah why are you not buying american products, this is unfair! We'll give you 10040% tariffs so you have to force your population at gunpoint to buy our shitty products!
That orange madman needs to croak already.
Just get a GOD Win 4 8840u. It's small enough to fit in your pocket.
Fuck that, I want our factories back
Because people who want something well designed will just buy a switch and not a steam dreck.
GPD Win 4
chinese shills ramping up i see. they know that within 6 months steam will be building steam decks in the US and it's over for them
You voted for this btw. Enjoy.
I don't know any of them but you do realize companies like Asus, Lenovo, Acer etc have a much more proven track record of hardware design and manufacturing than Valve, right
you already fucking lost. hope you enjoy eating rats in the streets
america's finest patriots who believe that texas instruments still produces CPUs for anything beyond bombs and we can whip rare earth elements out of our ass on a continent borderline barren of them
Because if the prices kept dropping they'd be getting close to $200 by now
Does anyone else find it crazy that American conservative rhetoric now is literally 1:1 Maoist talking points?
the free market is bad
only use your money in a way that benefits the country
you will buy less product that is more expensive, and you’ll be happier for it
Chinese people are getting things cheaper than we are
how is this a win? explain?
Zelensky will help you with rare earth minerals now.
Turns out cheap video game machines for manchildren are not a priority for the economy. You ever thought about marrying and becoming an adult instead?
maoism is kind of a logical endpoint of isolationist patriotism or "manifest destiny" thinking
Is it just America getting fucked or are prices around the world rising? Asking for a non-American friend
Gaming is healing
Want recreation at reasonable price
Government steps in and meddles in market, raises prices and keeps me from the recreation I earn
Anti big government crowd now tells me its good, actually, that the government is reaching in and meddling in so much of my day to day life
Yeah okay sure buddy
prices around the world are rising because america is such a huge market for consumer goods that price raises to break even or keep the same profit margin in the USA end up applying elsewhere as well
I'm playing Venus Vacation prism on my steam deck oled at 30 fps. It's OK because it's just yapping and jiggly boobs and no reaction speed is needed
Around the world. Products will not sell in America if they rose to the true tariff price, so instead of that they will make it slightly more expensive everywhere in the world so they can sell about the same amount and used the increased costs to cover the losses in America.
i love how this is such a cope to take a dig at america yet it's proof that america is literally the #1 person in the room. no wonder why chinks and browns are mad
GPU prices are reaching MSRP in germany finally with the exception of 5090s
don't think too hard about other countries selling their USA bonds and what the backbone of the USD as a fiat currency is anon
Your best bet is one of the Z1E devices
Weird way to spell Israel but go off king
Just remember that the US is only 4% of the population on Earth so a decision that hurts the other 96% that are dependent on US importing their goods is going to be the most shilled against topic you’ll ever see.
Glad I got my PS5 Pro already lmao shit is about to be 999$ plus tip
you are america's bitch and will always be america's bitch. also nice canned responses., who gave them to you?
welcome to third world pricing
Just don't be broke bro
I can't buy cheap chink garbage anymore, the West has fallen
Hysterical.
I guess these things are considered toys? I heard they could have been exempted if labeled as pcs
it's one of the big conservative cognitive-dissonance points that when "small government" is brought up it's also still somehow a powerful enough government to dictate the people and draft and enforce laws and guide a military and junk, ultimately it's favor for a king or extremely small council rather than a large and spread-out government system. very few checks and balances, and consolidated power
though i think what is actually meant by "small government" in the longest of runs, by normal townies, is that they don't give a shit about anything going on in the world outside of their ZIP code and they think federal government works the same as city hall. conservative townies think city hall, conservative congressmen and senators think of a throne room
question asks just America or around the world
two people answer around the world, repeating the phrasing of the question
this is somehow a psyop
The board has been slurping Chinese cock for a few years now, shouldn't be surprised.
they know that within 6 months steam will be building steam decks in the US and it's over for them
implying that the steam dreck has any kind of economic relevance
kek.
government implements heavy protectionism and tries to exert control over the growth of industry
holy based trump is literally a tankie
that'll happen when the USA blows up its own hegemony for no real reason
All countries have special cutout tariffs against the US.
supply and demand
why are anons pretending every person or “conservative” who supports what’s happening were all Ron Paul libertarians?
Have you noticed anything in your country get more expensive? I think chocolate bars bumped their price. Shit sucks but I can only assume Cadbury and Nestle are some of the most Jewish companies so that's on point.
No, it's because this shithole has become infested with gachafags, most of them probably from SEA where spreading your cheeks for daddy chink is a time honored tradition.
Since Covid shutdowns, yes.
Trump's whole thing is crashing and burning any party that even seems like they are right wing
Midterms are going to be a bloodbath.
I don't know any of them but you do realize companies like Asus, Lenovo, Acer etc have a much more proven track record of hardware design and manufacturing than Valve, right
What track records nigger?
Lenovo is only know for ThinkPads which were created by IBM and have become more and more shit ever since Lenovo bought IBM.
Also these stupid laptop companies are the niggers that made the atrocious gamer aesthetic that plagues the industry.
it's already a bloodbath globally, australia just went HARD fucking left and its center-left party won in a landslide and canada had a right-wing election victory snatched from them
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature understood that all electronic pricing was held up by an extremely tenuous and ephemeral global trade system that has been doomed to fail, especially with hostilities ramping between China and the US. I told a bunch of retards on Anon Babble this about 2 years ago as to why buying a 4090 at the time wasn't a bad deal because of this. I was correct. And it doesn't have anything directly to do with Zion Don. Having Taiwan create all the computer parts for the entire world because it benefits an extremely small portion of parasitic globalists was never ever going to be a sustainable or intelligent venture.
I suppose next time you should listen to your autistic superiors like myself (bought a 4090 BELOW MSRP, get fucked faggot)
Shut up you idiot, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Everything is made in China because they have the manufacturing infrastructure there for it unlike the US. What Trump wants to do by having everything made in the US is impossible because the whole world relies on trade because its almost as if certain parts of the world are better at some things than other parts of the world. If you're American and you support Trumps bullshit tariffs then you're a moron who should be shot in the dick and then the head because Trump is the reason why games are all getting more expensive. Need I remind you that Trump once said during his first term that violent video games are to blame for school shootings? Face it. He's an out of date fossil that doesn't represent over half the countries modern way of life and cultural norms.
why are anons pretending we haven't just sat through every rung of the conservative ladder lambasting democrats for their overreach since Obama first took office in 2008. To the point that politicians made careers out of the gimmick of dead legging the entire political process in protest as a mass virtue signal to their constituency
will the steam deck be able to play mgs delta
i'd buy one if so
an extremely tenuous and ephemeral global trade system that has been doomed to fail
the tariff situation is the exact opposite of what you predicted then, because the system didn't fail, it was actually one guy with a 40 year long tariff obsession fucking around that did it
I don't understand why people would rather buy the more powerful, more versatile systems
All countries have special cutout tariffs against the US.
Lie.
reminder, most of the replies are bots. if you don't reply, the bots won't post until the thread needs to bump
Cadbury went to shit the second they were bought out. It was over when they closed the Sommerdale factory.
Don't worry, we'll be making cheap chink garbage here in America. And it won't be cheap still.
Relying on a likely enemy to make all your shit is retarded no matter how you slice it. People should've seen this coming when Xi consolidated power and China started becoming more aggressive, but everyone wanted to hide their heads in the sand for 15 years instead.
America got theirs so they didn't care about unmasking.
I love watching conservative Americans suffer.
Enjoy poverty and isolation while the rest of the world moves on from US hegemony.
We warned you retards but you preferred to let hatred blind you.
Enjoy suffering through the consequences ^___^
Free Palestine
more powerful
Steam Deck is more powerful at low TDP
more versatile
They don't even have a working sleep mode lmao
Don’t shitpost this badly.
Trump cannot even understand that certain industries place tariffs on other countries to protect their own domestic industries so they don't collapses. It's like Trump's obsession with how other countries have tariffs on American dairy and beef. It's because those countries want to produce their own food so when someone like Trump pulls what he is pulling that their country won't starve.
Steam Deck can't even run Monster Hunter World, a PS4 game, at stable 40fps medium settings.
It's been outdated hardware for ages now
It is literally just America.
If the game comes out optimized well it should be okay. It runs elden ring and mgs5 well enough, but not perfect.
conservative americans don't even know they're suffering, you're listening to everyone else
um askually protectionism
mhmm
China are the good guys because without them you'd be paying over 2000 dollars on iphones and shit.
Maybe America should have been tariffing China 30 years ago then when they were purposfully destroying industries with their dumping practices.
trump very simply does not understand what a tariff is or what it's supposed to do, his obsession with trade deficit is in a similar vein
mind you, the american economy has effectively infinite money due to the USD's fiat currency, given its value as a fiat by global trust in its status in the form of government bonds-- trade deficit, inflation, and, really, any debt to any other country or any monetary instability or flux in any way, literally does not matter whatsoever so long as the USD is fiat. trump has upended this because he does not fucking understand what the US economic system is or how it works, all he understands is line go up and property value
You're stupid as fuck and can't comprehend anything. It is not even worth the energy to even attempt to explain this to you in a way where you'd understand.
trump hasn't read a book in his life, let alone written one
The politicians who refused to do so also happened to be getting China money under the table for their entire families. Strange that.
30 years ago we were still deliberately uplifting china into a manufacturing giant so that it could be our dutiful little production slave, as well as controlled opposition in the baby boomers' endless anti-communist obsession
And the xg mobile 4090 for 1000$.
Was a steal. Timing is everything when it comes to getting a good deal
Other countries have tariffs on American dairy and beef because the US dumps absurd amounts of hormones, genetically modified food, and antibiotics into them, consuming this unnatural slop is probably why Americans have become such utter retards
Now that the American empire is falling, hopefully we good western video games again.
A gpdwin 2 is more than fine for most things
I knew even as a kid that China was outplaying everyone by focusing on infrastructure and being the world's factory, retarded fucking boomers are now acting surprised that this decades-long economic boom also meant they'll have more political influence.
Yay, we'll get Beijing pollution and expensive goods so that Cleetus and infinity beans can have factory jobs here. Yay.
Nah, we'll be getting cheap Indian and Vietnamese shit in the future.
Shut up you idiot, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Yes I do you stupid fucking little underage faggot.
You have no fucking argument, so all you can do is tell me to shut up.
I don't understand why people would rather buy the more powerful, more versatile systems
Because it's a fucking handheld and Valve seems to be the only company that understands the importance of battery life in a handheld device.
The Rog Ally has fucking dogshit battery life, and worse efficiency than the Steam Deck at lower wattages.
You can't even use the Rog Ally at it's full power unless it's plugged in.
Literally just use a fucking gaming PC at that point.
for me as an american teenager thinking something was up with how america works was thinking "why is everything only accessible by fucking car?" while everything was within walking distance in wallace & gromit's fictionalized britain
God bless America.
I had an internship with a foreign policy think tank back in 2010, everyone knew this shit was going to happen and warned about it but consumers, businesses, and government were too addicted to cheap shit. Should've ripped the bandaid off two decades ago when it would've been less painful.
until Trump places giant tariffs on them too
Has there been any negotiations during the 90 day pause for Vietnam? I've heard nothing so that 40 something % might stay
more than likely not, the pause was to give themselves time to think and probably try to get trump to back the fuck down from the tariff idea in general, since there's no infrastructure for actual collection of the tariffs
As America shifts from bring a nation state to an economic zone, we'll become more cosmopolitan. We currently have about 5% unemployment so with all the new factories, we'll need to import infinity beans and infinity jeets. Imagine all the great spicy food they'll bring as they terraform our big green nation into an endless see of factories! Image sitting back in your favela pod, the sky blacked out by smog, and you can play your handheld gaming PC that's 100% made in the global economic zone formerly know as the US. It'll be lime something out of an animé!
Meanwhile Trump will claim over and over again that billions have already been brought in by tariffs.
The delusion of Trump is going to go down in history.
I love TN loot slop games. I can squeeze 60 frames out of nioh 2 consistently on my lcd deck but most levels in stranger of paradise have to be capped at 30. Though smaller missions like shrine and most boss areas can still do 60. Ronin is a no go. I love the format of these action looters for hand held. At least nioh 2 is 60. That's my favourite.
I'll have a look, thanks
Hey it's what we voted for.
18 minute apart post once it hits page 9
called it, bot thread
The Rog Ally has fucking dogshit battery life
The X has been out for too long to pretend it doesn't exist. It has both battery life and high performance.
And over twice the price.
Sorry $799 is too pricy for you Anon.
Legit pick one up at launch, it will only climb
You wish, Hao. What's the chink currency called so I can mock you properly anyway?
god this shit looks so fucking retarded
i will stick with my professional looking steam deck, you can keep the cheap ugly manchild gaming aesthetic
with my professional looking steam deck
lol, peak delusion.
To be fair, if he lives in California and you live in Wyoming, it's nowhere near the exact same
these posts were made 36 minutes apart. bot thread
No way the ally x was under $500. You were probably looking at the original ally at that price.
Tariffs, inflation, but mostly opportunism.
I know how to identify the character X
