    1. Steam OS on Launch was a buggy mess(ok maybe not a buggy mess, but full of bugs)
    2. They are 2 different devices. It’s like comparing Apple mini to Apple TV Similar form factors, different use cases.
    3. Target Markets are different for both. There is some overlap but not much. SD is for someone looking for PC gaming on the go/cheap way to get into PC gaming. PS Portal is an accessory for a console.

    I don’t agree with the PS Portal rating, but comparing 2 different classes of products and their ratings is just stupid and counter productive.

    A better comparison would be Steam Deck vs Ally or Lenovo Handheld or GPD or one of those brands.

    And Finally, these reviews and their scores are all based on personal opinion and preferences, there is no scientific method any of these reviews use, whats more, both reviews were probably written by different people with different biases.

    Look at the summary even, 1 is saying that SD is sublime, but has issues, whereas the other one says the same thing, yet still calls it a must own device.

    You may be younger and haven’t learnt this life lesson, but heres a freebie:

    Don’t follow others, form your own opinions. You are an idividual and reviews are nothing more than an idividual pretending that his opinion matters more than the next guys because he’s a reporter and you are not.



  • Not upset per se. Bought m8ne a month a go refurb 512gb model.

    Looking back i couldve spent a bit more and gotten oled one.

    But i was happy with it on purchase, new version doesnt change the fact I didnt m8nd the screen personally.

    What upsets me is all the improvements for upgrading/repairing your SD.

    Having said that I agree with you as to why they shouldve announced it with more notice
