I have a current Steam Deck and briefly considered the OLED, I got an OLED switch and OLED is really nice but at that price why not just spend the same to a little more and get a much more powerful handheld that doesn’t have the same restrictions as using a Steam Deck, such as many games and a lot of the most popular online games not working at all due to the anti-cheat? With the other handhelds you can install steam and run any game that you can run on windows without worry (unless KBM is required then can’t run in handheld mode) as well as easily install other launchers if needed.

Am I missing something that makes this the wrong thought process? Is there something about the other handhelds that although much higher stats and performance that makes them a lesser choice over the Steam Deck?

    Some of the more powerful handhelds are missing OLED/touch pads/back buttons/gyro, and don’t have SteamOS (yet).

    It’s all pretty much subjective.
