It's more integrated. Also, I don't think the expectation is to carry them around. You'd pick what you want for your trip and leave the rest at home. I expect this to be more like DS and less like Switch. I.e. A single person per device.

Genuinely curious, why would someone buy this over steam deck?

The modular capabilities, I/O ports.
The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't support SteamOS and the list of issues with Bazzite does not inspire confidence.

Look like the lynx from back in the day.
Can imagine those swap modules are good for longevity though.

Man I was ready to trash this post as an ad, but this stopped me. IMO you should put your opinion in the post to make for a more compelling interaction... otherwise it's just an RSS feed with more steps.
On topic: I like the concept of handheld that can do double duty via oLink etc. With a lot of these handhelds I think we're on the verge of seeing something finally replace laptops. There's some hurdles to jump but I genuinely feel like this formfactor is part of the next step.

Better (more ergonomic) form factor for one thing.
Steam deck is too damn big, and uncomfortable, in my opinion.

Dunno. Despite the swappable inputs, there is still no way to get trackpad + joystick + buttons/dpad at the same time.

Trackpad+buttons on the right, joystick+dpad on the left, maybe ? Sure you loose one trackpad and one joystick in the trade, but technically...

Which is what I mean - any way you slice it, this has 2 inputs less than the Steam Deck (I haven't looked for the number of grip buttons on this thing).
I don't use all the input options on every single game, but there are plenty that I do (namely shooters like Deep Rock, Helldivers, etc and hotkey heavy RPGs like DA Inquisition)
