    Competition is always good, but I wouldn’t buy an MSI product even if it was the only choice

      Yeah, you buy the Deck for the piece of mind with Valve and their support. I wouldn’t buy any others just because it’s like they are cash grabs on a current trend the Deck set off and none of the companies making them have the best track record for product and customer support.

      I mean the Ally was a fast cash grab release, the Legion Go at least tried something with removable controllers, but still rushed and not the best quality.

      Perhaps MSI’s handheld will be different if they have been developing it for a while, but MSI’s quality has always been cheap, so I imagine it will end up being an Ally kind of device.

        I do trust Valve more, when it comes to this, but my main reason is that a lot of things MSI make are piss poor quality, and so is their customer support. From the few experiences I’ve had with them, I would not recommend any of their products, and unfortunately that opinion also aligns with my friends

      Is it a problem with their laptops or something? I’ve had MSI Motherboards and GPUs and haven’t had any issues.
