Yes.
Gamers and journalists have been crazy about it since launch for good reason. It is relatively cheaper than other handheld gaming computers and games on it will be much cheaper than the Switch. The updated Deck is a huge improvement for the same price. It doesn't have the fastest performance or longest battery life, but the whole package is easily the best gaming experience out there (mostly made possible by their excellent software). It can even be used as a full desktop PC if you want.
You've still got to consider your own use case. But if you're on the market for a handheld gaming console, then the Deck is the best choice.
