This version is underpowered. So much so that it's price is diving.
Based on previous SD posts, almost everyone says to go for the extreme processor. It is worth the price and can handle majority of the games out currently.
Only if you're looking at it strictly from a hardware standpoint while ignoring the intended use of the device. This is like comparing a stationary exercise bike to a regular road bicycle.

Yeah. The price on this model drops hard because it's a weaker processor than even the Steam Deck. It's better to buy the lowest end Steam Deck Model and upgrade it with a better NVME drive. With that said, it's better to buy the higher end ROG Ally (on sale) than buy the high end Steam Deck model.

It is really hard to think of these decks as a good deal when an Xbox is $350.
