The Steam Deck is basically a PC. You can get mini PCs with APUs of a similar performance for very low prices these days. That won’t perform like a current gen console but it’s a cheap gaming machine with a huge selection of low cost games and you won’t have to pay for multiplayer.
Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

And those mini PC’s are mobile with built-in screens and controls?

That would be handhelds. Mini PCs are desktop devices. They often use the same processors as handhelds and laptops, though.

The Steam Deck is the only decent console because it’s not locked down.

That’s because it’s not a console.
