EDIT: Oh fuck it, you guys convinced me. Gonna get mine in a few 🥳
THANK YOU!
Thanks for all the inputs! That was very very helpful! Few things I've learned so far: 1 - It's great for times that you don't wanna stay in the office all day and spend more time with your loved ones. 2 - You can use Moonlight and Steam Link to local-wifi connect to your PC and play games on it without spending as much battery with a good wifi connection. 3 - It's AMAZING for commuting and times you are not at your gaming rig 4 - You can basically install anything on it, and it could potentially replace your PC if it's not as-capable.
I guess I won't be purchasing it at the time as I have figured I could remote-play on my iPad 12.9 inch, and atm I'm not commuting so much so I guess it's just a shiny gadget that I'd love to have sometime but don't really need to spend money on it right now.
I'll probably wait a few years for SteamDeck V2 to come out (rumors are saying it'll be here at 2026+ so we've got a lot of time!) and it'll replace my current laptop then.
Thanks everyone! That was very helpful and I learnt a lot from it! Saved a few bucks thanks to you guys and found a new cool way to enjoy my iPad :)
EDIT: Fuck it I'm getting one.
This is basically having every console available atm at the palm of your hands
Oh wow I wish the steam deck would've been more powerful than my laptop! I would easily replace it with it!
That sounds like a great solution!
Playing on a steam deck on Linux based OS, to play a Nintendo switch game with a Xbox controller... This is such an amazing time to live in
Steam deck seems to be a great solution for a gamer dad
Does that work on different networks as well or only local-network?
I love all the tinkering part! It seems so fun to enable it to do basically everything!
Oh wow this is a great solution for hospitals and long wait-times!
Thanks! That's a great input and is very helpful!
Yeah I think I'll just do what you do at some point in the future. Makes a lot of sense
It helps you stay away from the Office room all day
Yeah it seems super convenient for that
Emulation is such a great reason to get it
Yeah I guess Switch VS SteamDeck is a hard choice. Basically the steam deck can have them both so that could possibly be both
One day I'll replace my laptop with this... Makes so much sense
Oh wow I guess this'll be a great solution when I'll become a father eventually
What are your use cases for the Steam Deck?
I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.
What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?
