Id say it's the best gaming device I've ever had of any type (though mine was a gift, so the purchase part didn't apply).

It really is what I always wanted in gaming, but didn't really think was possible.

I completely agree with your last sentence. Only my Amiga 500 comes close as my favourite gaming device, and I can emulate that on the Steam Deck, so unfortunately its back in its box.
