Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy

I just saw the ASUS handheld in the wild. It was running some FPS game pretty well.

Can anyone help me compare the two - Steam Deck OLED vs comparable ASUS version? Which do you prefer? Pros/cons?

I’m almost decided to buy the Deck OLED, but seeing that in the wild made me pause. It looks nice.

The deck is probably going to get more support for longer even though it’s slightly weaker. Even after valve stops supporting it down the road there are already a bunch of Linux distros for the deck

  Given the Steam Link still gets updates, I wouldn’t worry about the Deck for at least a console generation’s lifetime
