Steam Machine vs Steam Deck (OLED)
Machine: Living-room SteamOS PC. Roughly PS5-class rasterization — a true 1080p/1440p machine, not the native-4K box the marketing implies. 8 GB VRAM is its real ceiling.
Deck: The mature handheld. We don't re-rank what ProtonDB and SteamDeckHQ already own — Deck appears here as a comparison baseline and a data source.
