The hardware in the deck is showing its age
, the only real argument in its favor is that on battery power it
’s the most efficient

Although my Loki does well in battery
I get just over half the playtime in some lightweight games compared to the deck
, like in Balatro or Peglin I get 5
-6 hours on the Loki
, 9
-11 hours on the Deck OLED

Once we get to higher end games though
, there
’s a point where the Deck and Loki are about equal
