GPD Win 4: Company boasts that new console is 'better than Steam Deck' in launch date and specifications announcement

[SteamDeckDisappointment]

I agree with everyone, there is no way it bests the SD in price-to-benefit ratio, not to mention Valve has customer service that's pretty hard to beat.

The customer service I received from Valve was terrible. I had to argue with them about why I didn't like the steam deck and justify my opinions to get an RMA approved within my return window and then was expected to eat the return shipping costs.  The whole process felt very antagonistic and I ended up resorting up selling the unit on eBay to recoup my out of pocket costs.

Im not on anyone's side, but the only way this is true is if you were way outside the RMA window. Assuming this, its likely you broke it anyway and are now taking it out on customer service.

I opened a support ticket stating I had a wonky button where the left half didnt register as a click and they had me a brand new deck in 10 days for free, no talking involved. Ive never had such good customer service in my life.

Lol all the steam deck fan boys hating, too funny. There is so much here that is better than the steam deck. Will it be more expensive, absolutely. Don't hate it because you can't afford it. There are a lot of people that paid a premium for the steam deck off of scalpers. If you need cheap, get a steam deck. If you want the best and most flexible,get the gpd win 4. Also, it runs steam os as well, so anyone hating on windows has another option...

Well somebody's coping hella hard right now.

Kinda ironic how you claim folks are steam deck fanboys when you're the one making yourself out to be a massive gpd fanboy. Now that s***'s hilarious. Lmao

Money aside the steam deck sucks. The screen is horrible. I got my high end SD and left it at baby mamas house. Never gonna use it again. 8" OXP is better.

I'm pretty sure you are lying or making this up to hate on valve, because  I had the RMA my steam deck after downloading emu-deck and it started to run like shiz,    I never spoke to anyone on a phone everything was  Done over the Internet but the whole process was pretty smooth.
  Seems there's a lot of haters out there on both sides personally I like all the systems out there  They're all good in their own way.
I own many handhelds including the GPD win 3 which I do like it's a good system so I'm sure the 4 will be cool, but  To be honest the steam deck is my go-to handheld it's pretty awesome  And because of the price I don't think anyone out there  Should be trying to compare their handhelds to valves it's clearly the best value.

They should really stop comparing themselves to Steam Deck. Its a good device in itself.

This kind of purchase didn't make any sense back when I was a university student, its still doesn't make sense now even after I have my own money. Why would I spent more than 1k USD for something that is weaker than my 3 years old mid range gaming laptop..that was cheaper.

With Steam Deck, the purchase suddenly make sense for a lot of people.

Honestly, if there is a device that only use 720P, maybe only a Vega 11 APU and huge battery capacity, for maybe 500-700 usd, I would buy that.
