    So people not understand the main benefits of the Steamdeck are: It’s cheap It doesn’t use windows.

    Like honestly, GPD has been making solid windows handhelds for years, but they’ve never been a popular as now because of these two things.

      Don’t forget support. For what the Steam Deck is, I’ll take runs well over runs fast any day. It’s not like these competitors are letting you crank the settings to Ultra at 120 FPS.

        Yup, I didn’t buy the Steam Deck to do 4K ray tracing at 120FPS. I bought it so I can pick up any Steam Deck Verified game and play it without relative issue. Being able to suspend the game immediately and just knowing things work beats fiddling with Windows on a handheld.
