I think it's pretty hard to find a laptop with similar performance characteristics, build quality, repairability and firmware support at the steam deck price point. For one.
On the other hand portability is also great, and so is the additional software customization on top. Having an easy slider for custom TDP is a great feature.

On the other hand, it's much easier to find any laptop at all than the Steam Deck... because the Steam Deck is not yet available in my country, while there are plenty of laptops from many different brands (Dell, Lenovo, Positivo, even Apple) at all price points.
