Right‽ The brand new Steam Deck Killer! Better in every way, except it costs 3x as much and weighs more because it's got a giant battery (or conversely the battery life sucks).
Like, no shit you can make something more powerful, finding the happy medium of performance to battery life and then making it cost effective AND actually portable are the most difficult parts of what Steam did and those are the things the competitors just seem to completely ignore.
And for how expensive portable consoles can be, I'm not calling anything a "steam deck killer" until I'm also confident it can be repaired and upgraded for years after I buy it.
