Especially if it comes with the same warranty as a new one.

Those are some very reasonable prices

Looks like it does!
Is there a warranty? Yes. The same warranty you receive with a new unit is provided with each Certified Refurbished unit. If you have an issue with your unit and that issue cannot be resolved it will be replaced with another Certified Refurbished unit.

As someone that needed their first deck RMA’d that fuckin rules. I was PISSED mine died, still have no clue what happened never had a device catastrophically fail like that, but they were awesome about it. Tech support tried to diagnose and fix and when it was obvious it was toast they just took it back and sent me a new one.

Meh, $500+ for what is basically a $350 laptop crammed into a handheld form factor is not exactly what I’d call “reasonable”.

Can you point me to a $350 laptop with similar specs?

I, for one, would actually be fine with buying a Steam Deck at that price just so that way Steam/Valve have incentive to continue their work on Proton (their answer to try and get unsupported games working on Linux and their own official SteamOS).

Yeah but I don’t want a laptop. Until people start making handhelds this good at that price (and there are competitors getting close) then the price seems fine.
