Well, that market saturated quickly.

I just hope these don't go the way of VR 🙁

My guess is: It's back-to-school season and it's a simple and effective way to clear old stock.

I haven't kept up with these toys. Is there a reason to own one of these over the steamdecks?

Check a review. Somewhat higher performance (Z1 Extreme models), higher resolution screen, supports eGPUs, etc.

ROG Ally X has more going for it, like 24 GB of RAM, switching from M.2 2230 to 2280, doubled battery size, etc. but with a much higher price than these on sale models.

There have been complaints about the ROG Ally's build quality and warranty issues.

Then there's the Onexplayer and Ayaneo devices with 64Gb/32Gb.

They can easily replace a desktop. Basically, a nuc with a screen and controller built-in.,

Usually they are more performant but Steam Deck have a better user experience.

They try to cram everything inside of it better batery better cpu and better storage... in the end you will have a brick on the hands not portable at all... but you can attach a external brick gpu. And lots of cables... see that 70 inch portable screen and that portable generator. That's the future...
