The suspend and resume function is so important for me that it's hard to justify losing it with bigger games. In addition to all the usual windows complaints which I can personally ignore, steamos is just a better experience for managing games, settings and controls.
All that said, I'm still getting an ally as I currently just plug my oxp into an egpu dock to play games on my nice monitors at home and this will provide a nice cpu boost but for people that truly care about portability the steam deck is still incredible value.
Edit: a later reviewer said remove the best buy card then add it again and the code works. This is correct. Cancelled a single two-unit order and repurchased two units on separate orders using the same April 10% off code, because it maxed at one $70 discount per order. Since I have a new account I should theoretically also receive $120 in best buy funny money ($60 each). $600 per unit isn't half bad.

They might actually be charging up front. I made an order and forgot to use a cashback site. So I cancelled the first order and BB said I will be receiving a refund back to the cart. I just checked my card and it shows a pending charge but it also shows a pending refund (for the cancellation). Typically the authorization would just fall off but in this case the initial authorization seemed to be a full charge. Otherwise, they wouldn't be issuing a refund.
