I bought a PS5 because my old XBone was on the fritz, and the series x wasn't available at the time... plus hardware failure from the Xbone made me lean towards Sony anyway. Hard-core console gamers also helped push me into it as well... "who cares about Halo, you will be able to play all the good games on either console".
I have no team, and now I kind of regret even buying a console at all, it's only real feature for me is it has a fast boot up time lol. Every other article about a new game seems to be a kick in the nuts to console owners.
Get a Steam Deck and every game release is a thrill ride of will the game run fine.
(Honestly, I love my Deck and stopped playing most AAA games because they annoy the fuck out of me with padding for length and ads for DLC and such.)
What's the benefit of Steam deck vs something like Ally ROG? Genuine question, I have no horse in the race. (I can't even find as much time as I wished to game in my free time at home, I am definitely not going to spend book reading time on subpar gaming)
Ease of use. Windows on such a small screen is not much fun. For more details, look up some of the plenty comparisons on YouTube.
