For me the size is a major advantage. Traditional controllers are an ergo nightmare for me. The width of the controller means my hands are at a much more natural angle and the shape and balance of the deck is very well thought out. The steam deck replaces gaming laptops for me. Gaming laptops have always been hot, noisy, and highly failure prone. The deck is downright dainty in comparison and doesn't require me to carry a mouse, controller, and clunky power brick as well.
