The 6800U handhelds are starting to show up for reviews/previews
Essentially if you take the Steam Deck and crank the settings up to high or keep the same settings , up the resolution to 1080p and double the framerate, you will get the 6800U's performance at 28 watts. For some games, you can do both. And you get the benefits of running Windows with essentially universal compatibility with all your games.
But of course, the key difference is the price as most of these handhelds will cost double the 512GB version at a starting price. On top of that, you will have a hard time dealing with any Quality Control issues where as with the Steam Deck, you can just send it back. While the performance and functionality is great, it is a hard plunge to take.
For the GPD Win Max 2, they haven't given out the 6800U version yet to the reviewers but you can see the review of the Intel version
