I love the idea of a Steam Deck or the other portable pcs like it, but man I think it would just sit lol. The techie in me just wants it to have. Same with a VR headset. I’d play beatsaber for a bit and it would be dusty.
I don't use my Deck much outside my home, and I do tend to just sit on the couch most of the time.
I find I'm way more inclined to pick it up and start gaming that way and I end up using it more than my PC.
I mainly use the Deck to play retro titles, and use my desktop rig to play newer or more demanding games. It was worth every penny, thanks to being so easy to set up for the retro games!
