I think the biggest single factor they point out is the software side of things, in combination with the other factors such as hardware/price. Although the Deck ain’t beefy, it’s got enough juice to do a lot at a battery rate that isn’t terribly abysmal, especially for lighter indie titles and emulation.
The other factor here is outside support and adoption. There are tons of options for third party customization, such as skins, buttons, pads, cases, etc. Not saying these don’t exist for the competition, just not at the same scale. Kind of like finding support for a niche android phone versus an iPhone.
The Deck runs Starfield. It shouldn’t be able to yet here I am, zipping around space on the thing. Running Linux and how crazy effective Proton is, plus having trackpads to play Crusader Kings 3, it is hard to beat given it only cost a few hundred €s.
