    Reminds me of the quick and dirty tablets they all made right after the ipad

      Yeah. These are going to be abandoned after two years.

    No trackpad, no interest

      Agreed! Also, no back buttons which I think is another huge miss.

    Is it named this because it overheats and burns your hands?

    The steamdeck is such a nice name compared to Asus rog ally x or acer nitro blaze 7.

    I am tempted to compare the market of handheld PC to this of Single Board Computers.

    You have on one hand the Raspberry Pi and steamdeck: first successful on a niche market, develop the hardware and the software to deliver a complete experience, open and hackable.

    On the other hand, you have all the followers, throwing out some random imitations, with better spec. sheets, but no Software support, or just the bare minimum and ultimately the experience offered isn’t a match.

    How are they hoping to compete with the steamdeck if none of them put in the effort to develop a complete and functional user experience? Acer and Asus with collect the scraps and nothing more.

    The market‘s gotta be nearing saturation with all the competition, no? And XBOX is rumored to wanna jump into it too…

        These devices are heavy, having your thumb don’t make it harder to hold, I guess
