i agree. the reason steam deck and other handhelds work well is because of the smaller screen/resolution.

makes it light and games run ok due to the smaller resolution. a chonker like this completely defeats the purpose of a handheld imo.

Idk if I'd call the deck light.

compared to a laptop, I would. even a small one.

Try the onexplayer and you'll call it extremely light then. Lol
