The 7840u in the Win Mini actually still has worse battery efficiency 10w and below. That said, it's def better at 15w (and can go higher, but I wouldn't want to as you're looking at battery life in the 1 hour range at that point), but you're trading ergonomics and better weight distribution for smaller size and better high-end power at that point I also prefer the d-pad/buttons out + sticks in controller layout of the Deck compared to the opposite on the Win Mini, but prefer both to any asymmetric layout. Also have to give credit to GPD for using a kino Vita style d-pad. The Win Mini is also going to be starting somewhere around $800 for the 7840u model vs $400 starting for the Deck not even counting the $330 refurbished models which is what I'd go for if I were buying a Deck today. The 7640u model is going to be around $700, but at that point you're getting Deck performance levels with worse battery efficiency. Ofc tbf, the Win Mini will also have a higher res screen and more storage in the cheapest 7840 & 7640 models compared to the cheapest Deck. Personally don't care about the storage since I have a 512gb SD card, but the better screen is nice.

Verdict: Deck still not btfo, maybe next year.
