The battery life difference between the OLED Steam Deck versus the Asus and Lenovo competitors was a major factor in my decision to choose the Deck. As others have pointed out, it's hard to imagine that MSI (of all companies) can deliver on battery life given these other specs, let alone other considerations like weight & size. Good for them if they manage to excel at all of these things, but I'm going to have to see it to believe it. And as of right now, I haven't seen anything at all.

The only reason to choose MSI for PC parts is price so yes it would be very hard for them to compete. Their QA is non-existent and their Customer Support Ethereal.

Also afterburner, great piece of software.

That's not a great reason to choose their hardware though. You can use that with any other brand of hardware with no issue.
