I think the Deck’s killer feature is really just having a library already ready to go when you buy it. Compare this to having to rebuy duckhunt wrapped in an emulator again on the Switch, or whatever.

The touchpads are such a nice controller innovation too.

They also do a really good job of patching Proton to get Windows games working on the Deck hardware. Even games that don’t meet minimum requirements will run on the Deck.

I wasn’t really impressed by the touchpads, until I actually used them. Been playing stellaris on my bed every day now and I can’t imagine a portable PC like this not having pads.

Yeah, I didn’t get them either until using one and realizing conceptually they’re more like a trackball.
