Guess you got yourself your next poll Rol: "Do you plan to buy a Steam Deck?"
I wonder if Valve were intentionally waiting for Nintendo to announce their rumored upgrade first.

I keep seeing articles up about how cheap it is or how much it pained Gabe to have such an attractive price point, but seriously? $400 for the basic model that can fit like two AAA games (max) on it? PC developers don't compress and optimize games like Nintendo does, that thing will barely fit any games on it without a beefy microsd card. Plus, acting like $400 is cheap (and that's the cheapest variation) when it can only play PC games is silly. Switch may be worse hardware overall, but it has a bigger screen, is also LCD (the ones out right now), functions the same way, and in addition to a thousands of third party games also has all of Nintendo's exclusives. 

Steam Deck is just an overpriced third-party-only Switch. Lamesauce.

You do realize that PC's games library is significantly bigger than what Switch has to offer right? On top of that, because this is a PC with Zen 2 and RDNA 2 that's more powerful than a base model ps4, it will allow you to play emulators including even switch/wiiU emulators probably at higher resolutions than on the switch/wiiU.

The storage option at it's base model is not good, that I can agree. But this is absolutely a good value even at $529 for what it offers.
