Weight, heat and battery life suck on x86.

It might get a second life as a cheap portable mini pc in the future.

Even if the Steam Deck is heavier than a Switch... the weight distribution and ergonomics are great; the Steam Deck is very comfortable to hold.

The grips of the Steam Deck (that's where the hands go) stay cool, so the heat ain't a problem:

Battery life totally depends on the games and game settings. Many PC versions on Steam Deck have a better battery life than the Switch version of the same games on my 2017 Switch... with better settings on Steam Deck.
