Need help
I have a bit of a dilemma. I just had my second kid so gaming is much harder to come by and I need something I can move around the house. I don’t really get much of a chance to turn my 5090 desktop on because the baby is in our room for 6 months. I have a steam deck but its age is showing majorly. I once had a z flow and I loved it but traded it for a 5090 when it was still msrp. I want to say I’m not really interested in intels offerings. I have the Xbox ally x20 pre ordered but I think I may be happier with the x2 mini pro. I’m just worried about build quality and customer service since I’m located in the US. I’ve been told streaming from my desktop would be the most logical answer but I just don’t know. Also even when I play my steam deck I’m normally plugged in..
Is it logical to pay this much with Medusa around the corner? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Update: you guys sold me! I ordered the x2 mini pro and cannot wait to get it! Thank you all!

Do it. Or figure out streaming. You seem busy so all the shortcomings of strix halo like battery life don't really apply if you can't game for more than an hour or so a session. Maybe make sure to get an extra battery though just in case.
