Honestly, getting something like a ROG Ally and a dock is about the same price (though obviously would have 16 GB vs the 32 GB as tested) and you'd have a device that could be used handheld too.

Steamdeck's and ROG Ally's have completely changed the math on these more premium USFF PCs. If it's only going to be couple hundred more to get similar performance, that convenience of a portable can easily tip the scales in their favour.
