I think this is healthy. People (including myself) are easily sucked into consumerism instead of sustainability.

Better to have a good device that is highly repairable, upgradeable, and modable. That way you can make small improvements and add some high quality accessories without just trying to force everybody to buy the newest shiny device every 18-24 months.

Unless you're only playing the latest AAA games, the Deck will perform great for many years to come.

I got sucked down the hype/consumerism hole for many years after college, and I blew so much money on buying every new PC part and accessory even though I didn't need any of them.
