Genuinely curious, why would someone buy this over steam deck?
The modular capabilities, I/O ports.
The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't support SteamOS and the list of issues with Bazzite does not inspire confidence.
Man I was ready to trash this post as an ad, but this stopped me. IMO you should put your opinion in the post to make for a more compelling interaction... otherwise it's just an RSS feed with more steps.
On topic: I like the concept of handheld that can do double duty via oLink etc. With a lot of these handhelds I think we're on the verge of seeing something finally replace laptops. There's some hurdles to jump but I genuinely feel like this formfactor is part of the next step.
Better (more ergonomic) form factor for one thing.
Steam deck is too damn big, and uncomfortable, in my opinion.
