  • good form factor for handheld gaming and polished designed, lots of buttons and controls, including dual trackpads, good OS with future for dual booting Windows support, stays cool in the hands under load, competitive price
  • lower screen gamut than competitors, not many IO options, SteamOS is limited to only Steam games, very large device compared to competitors at the same screen size
  • My Steam Deck arrived a few weeks ago, and I'm really digging it. Valve has done what no other PC handheld manufacturer has been able to do yet, which is polish it for the average end-user. As cool as I found the GPD Win and the Aya Neo, I still wouldn't...
