My Steam Deck. I regularly refer to it as the single greatest video gaming purchase I've ever made. I got spoiled for a while by a Switch so i stopped playing PC games because there was no handheld option I liked. The SD gave me convenient access to almost my entire Steam library.
My iPad Pro. I'm normally not an Apple person because I'm so rooted in the Android ecosystem but for my purposes, it's an excellent little toolbox for sketching up writing ideas and as a little music production machine.
Andaseat Kaiser 2. I spend all day working out of my chair and a considerable amount of my free time there, too. Really sturdy, large, comfortable chair. I'd estimate I've got at least 5-7 years before I start thinking about a replacement. The fake leather will probably start to go well before that but I don't care.
Ughh. You're making me second guess my decision to not get a Deck while it's on sale rn.
Do you want to play games but do not feel that motivated to turn on your pc? Then the steam deck is great for you. I went from maybe playing on the weekend to play pretty much any time I want to chill in the sofa. I travel a lot so now I can play anywhere. I still play games on my pc that is better with keyboard and mouse (the pads works for slower games) and games that only works on windows, but that isn't many haha
Why are you unsure?
It's the price but I've also got a fairly decent setup already at home, so I think I'd only use it on my commute.
I thought so too. But here I am playing on my deck games like deathloops and other graphical demanding games while my gaming pc got an identity crisis 😂
But if the price is too high then you shouldn't buy it. There will be more sales in the future :D
My desktop rig is looking a little long in the tooth (i7 8700k, EVGA 1070 FTW Edition) but it can still keep up since I don't rush to every brand new triple-A release. My problem is that I filled it to the brim with samples and music software a while back and actually had to start uninstalling games to make more space. Steam Deck solved that problem! lol
