I ordered mine like 2 days after they announced it, and I haven't regretted it at all. I almost never preorder things, but the Steam Deck just scratched every itch I had (handheld PC gaming, reasonable price, Linux, repairability).
I'll probably pick up the SD 2 pretty early as well. It's such a great experience and they've earned my trust with both launch quality and follow up improvements.
Same here, I was in on the preorder, and I've been burned too many times to want to do that normally
I was only okay with it because it wasn't really a preorder. A refundable deposit to get in line didn't feel the same, since I ended up with a good chunk of time to check reviews before deciding to commit my money, and I got the device a few days after paying.
That's fair
