Now, as per it's pros and cons.
I heard that 250 nits wasn't a lot of brightness but it is more than enough for me and I have never used this at full brightness. The screen colors are fine and everything. People have been complaining about screen wobble, but in my opinion, it is wayy overstated and barely noticeable. Keyboard is nice and the numpad is an added bonus as I use it regularly. It also has a neat little calculator button near the numpad so that's nice. There is a backlight that can either be toggled on or off, but you can't change the brightness. Unlike some other gaming laptops, this has a nice design and doesn't look tacky. The build quality is alright, you get what you pay for. Not too shabby, but it is mostly just plastic.
The only thing that I don't really like about the laptop is the fans make a slight whistle if you do anything slightly more than browsing. It's kind of quiet but very noticeable. I don't know if it's just my model or it's a common thing with all models. Even if I put it in quiet or eco mode, the noise still persists.
I'll be honest, battery life kinda sucks. So if you're going to be using a laptop for more than 3 hours or so on battery, I would not recommend this. Battery drains faster than I'd like.
Overall, it's a fine laptop for the price.
Max memory support is 16gb
Has one usb 3.2 that's a display port 1.4

It would not perform as well as the laptop. The laptop also has a higher refresh rate and resolution. So in theory a laptop like this will play games better because it has a dedicated graphics card. I guess it depends on what you plan on doing. Most reviews like the portability of the Steam Deck more than the power. Ran across a rumor of a new version of the Steam Deck coming out.
