Saves between ps5 and this, for one. Also, playing your ps5 game on the shitter, in bed, or while next to your spouse while watching TV, or for a family member to play their ps5 game in their room or anywhere else while another family member is using the TV. It's also lighter, plays for 7 hours on a charge, regardless of graphic intensity which is compared to 2 hours on an SD OLED for demanding games, it has a bigger screen, and it's a higher resolution.

I'm primarily a pc gamer and have been for decades, so for me the SD is an absolute choice. But for someone with a PS5 who wants a hand system to play ps5 and ps4 games on around the house when they aren't in front of the TV? The portal is a great option. It's a 1080p 8" screen and battery sitting between an $80 ps5 controller.

You also don't even want to buy the cheap steamdeck that's $400. It's lcd and only 256GB, so you're looking at at least having to buy the $550 one with the OLED screen and 512GB space. So really you're talking about having to spend nearly triple the price to get a steam deck, and if you just want to play your ps5 around the house, that's a really dumb choice.
