What devices might be better for me than the Steam Deck?

I purchased my Steam Deck earlier this year, before the price increased, and have absolutely loved it! I truly think it’s a fantastic device however, there are a few things that I’ve come to realize I dislike after a few months. I’m considering a gaming laptop or the Steam Machine; I’m looking for anything priced in that ball park really but I don’t know what is the best option available.

I have been jealous of PC players showing gameplay of Deadlock + I play Overwatch on PS5 and have wanted to move to PC for a long time. That’s really where the Steam Deck doesn’t fare well (live service games) and where I can see myself preferring a different device. I’m in no rush to part with it though! I’m just trying to see what might work better for me.

I also don’t want to be inconvenienced with having to mod games again… redownloading emulated games, stuff that won’t transfer, etc. so if there’s a way to make that process as smooth as possible let me know too.
