due to the AMD chip poor efficiency.

AMDs only major gains when it comes to radeon graphics only happen during console gens.

Steam deck was good because it was based on the same rdna2/zen2 as ps5.

We already know rdna5(udna?)/zen6 will be the next good one because that's what ps6 will be based on too.

$899 = over 25w of sipping juice.

$899 = ~29-minutes of battery life for AAA games on the go, you know, for portable use. 😏

$899 = high thermals that requires extra external cooling.

$899 = small margin performance uplifts (if any) compared to the Steam Deck or NS2

$899 = paper-weight high-performance that will never bring real-time portable advantages to the competition due to the AMD chip poor efficiency.

$899 = suckers!
