That's really not that much different from 1080p.
1280x800 is totally sufficient on my Steam Deck, and I would very much rather have some better battery life and quieter fans on a handheld than more pixels.
The only things this has that I wish my Steam Deck had are:
The joystick layout seems worse, the bezel doesn't seem any better, and the trackpads seem uncomfortably low (I use them a lot on point & click adventure games). It's also unclear if Steam OS is compatible (though I imagine it or something like Bazzite would get there soon). And for $800, I don't think the negatives outweigh the positives here.
