It's better than the portal bc you don't need a wifi connection to play games. Just buy them on Steam and take them wherever you go

General consensus is the savings is not worth the performance downgrade. Even with the lower spec processor the battery life is the same as the Z1 extreme.

With the new Steamdeck OLED there's really not much of a point to this unit unless you just need 1080p more than you need a useable battery life.
