    It’s awesome that the handheld market is having a comeback, I might pick up one of these instead of a gaming laptop when I decide to upgrade.

      It’s a good alternative to a laptop.

      Personally I use my steam deck as a portable console. For laptops, I opted for a Mac. If someone wants windows, it’s really hard to beat this.

        I use my Steam Deck as a portable console too. My laptop is a super ultra light thing (XPS 13) that can’t run games very well to begin with, but that’s fine since I have it for work anyway. In the end, the two of those together still cost less than a competent (and new) gaming laptop. And I don’t even have to put up with Nvidia’s terrible Linux drivers!

      Looks like a good deal. Does it come with a docking station? Might get one for my gf so she can play all the new games.
