I am happy about the raise of popularity of the new handheld PC consoles, but still Windows on handheld device is a deal breaker for me.

I know Steam Deck is not perfect, but the proton compatibility layer, the OS and the console-like experience is something I would pay extra money for, if other manufacturers adopted it.

I’m not sure about this one, but my understanding is that steam deck is the only one that can suspend a game mid play and have the ability to resume.

If it were not for that, there would be times where I just don’t start a game because I only have 15 minutes.

Now, I can do a quick ten minute game while waiting for a zoom meeting.

Yeah it's the only one that can reliably go to sleep in the middle of a game and wake with the game still running properly.
