Anyone eyeing this device for purchase?

It’s interesting to keep an eye on the development in x86 handheld space, but I’m pretty happy with my steam deck for time being

Yep. These challengers have like 10-20% more power in real scenarios. That’s not remotely enough to compete with all the other advantages the SteamDeck brings.

That OS and Software is 100% made for handheld gaming. Embedded in the largest existing game library.

I would rather wait another 2 or 3 years for the successor.
