npub1cy5mlr3wvmvwzzl6hxa7ctkv8rpn9q054dfjxx6ln2nphujz3sus4nmmrz (npub1cy5…mmrz) Well, before the Deck existed, only real viable handheld was the Switch. Honestly if the Steam Deck was available in Q1 2021, I wouldn't have bought a Switch.
Handheld PCs have existed for years before the Deck but they were made in small batches, were expensive & customer service afterwards were nearly non-existent.
Valve proved that this form factor can be successful for the masses, that's why ASUS & Lenovo jumped in. Dell seemed to want to but haven't yet.
