Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.

For the last few years I’ve gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don’t think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.

How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?

    It’s definitely put off getting a new one for me, especially sense my partner got a Deck too

    Instead I’m planning on eventually getting a framework in an enclosure along with an external GPU (whenever that becomes an option, presumably around the end of the year) and make it a compact linux box under the TV I can game on

      Got myself a refurbished 11th gen Framework earlier this year, and while it’s (mostly) not an option for gaming it’s a joy to work with! And the fact that long term I can just pop in a new mobo and possibly add an egpu as well is the icing on the cake!
