surprisingly not most of the time I checked.

Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

Unless they change CPU architectures.

well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
I didn’t think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

My experience with Cyberpunk was that the Steam Deck preset was a good starting point, but wasn’t actually an ideal way to play the game.

that is also propably subjective and may even depend on the deck you have, and in which areas the silicon lottery was good or bad to you
