The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame. (www.theverge.com)

Yup. I got my Steam Deck for $530 or something at launch and I'm still loving it. If it breaks and I can't cheaply fix it, I'll buy their OLED model for $550 and still be less than Asus' device. Yeah it's less powerful, but it's not half as powerful.

If Valve releases a faster Deck, I'll probably get it because the first has worked so well and was priced well. I'm happy competitors exist, but I don't need a top of the line handheld, because I can always play more intensive games on my desktop.
