they're also forgetting the touchpads. the touchpads are so fucking good, and they add so much usability and flexibility. so much, I think, that no amount of superior performance, resoution, or battery life can make up for the lack of them.

This is why I bought a deck oled even with the other more powerful handhelds already out.

I have the OLED too and it's such an exceptional device. Works very well as a media PC too, especially with KDE Connect for controlling remotely from a smartphone

It's so nice fr, it helps I had sorta "prepared" by learning Bazzite on my spare laptop prior, so got very familiar with the immutable aspects and flatpaks/appimages

Absolutely. They make mouse-based games playable with a controller. Gyro is nice too.

Not just playable but pleasant! Thing is perfect for Rimworld especially

I haven't played RimWorld on Deck yet... Sounds like a good way to lose entire days.
