Advantages of Steam Deck
- Cheaper.

TLDR
Our preference between these two devices will be the Steam Deck as it is half as expensive as the GPD Win 4. However if you have the budget up to $1000, you should seriously consider the GPD Win 4 as it is packed with more features and the latest technology and this makes it more future proof than the Steam Deck.
