Its the most powerful handheld graphics wise (by a significant margin), and it is inexpensive. Also, for linux gaming, it should increase the amount of linux gamers several orders of magnitude.
I mean the gpd win 3 is out already, and is quite a bit more powerful than the steam deck on the GPU front. It's just very expensive for what it is, more than double the price of the steam deck
Yeah it is a lot cheaper, like half the price of the latest gpd win 3. But the gpd is quite a bit more powerful, but not enough to justify the price lol
Yeah, Valve is uniquely good compare to other game companies because it seems Gabe Newell is actually personally embarrassed by the idea of releasing garbage and dropping all support out of nowhere. Even though the Steam controller was a flop sales wise, they continue to support it extremely well. Even though the Steam Machines flopped, they continue to support them extremely well and they get regular updates still. The Vive was the first vr system that actually worked properly and didn't have major issues.
Fortunately they can subsidize this stuff from the cut from every sale they get from the Steam store. It seems every company that doesn't make trash products all have that in common. Management that is personally embarrassed by the idea of making garbage, and the ability to subsidize their main products with some other product that is basically a money printer.
For instance, Fujifilm is the only digital camera company I know of who seems like they actually try, and they are heavily subsidized by their instant film selling like crazy.
they still kinda do? steam deck coming out soon and everyone seems to love it in advance

They should be roughly equivalent on the gpu, no? Steam deck is running an rdna 2 gpu cores vs the gpd win 3's intel xe graphics.
it's unoriginal sure but it's a lot cheaper which i think is the main reason its so hype lol

25% more powerful GPU for double the price lol
Well, considering Valve's history of hardware support...
