that looks cool but I don’t think handheld gaming is for me any longer despite my interest…I think I’m just looking to make an impulse buy but realistically I’m not gonna use it much at all…I haven’t gamed extensively on a handheld device since the PSP days…the biggest factor in changing my mind was watching some gameplay of helldivers on it and seeing how small the text and everything else was…then the second factor was remembering how little I used my switch lite before I sold it
That's fair. Me on the other hand, if I could....I would have every single form of tech as a handheld. The shyt is crazy convenient. Hell, when I had to go to the hospital to check on my wife (car accident/shyt drivers down here). I loaded up my Switch and my Deck like I was fukking Kokey Koala:
Just the idea of if my laptop were to shyt the bed, I can easily plug a keyboard and mouse to the Deck and call it a day. It just works....but I dig it on how you feeling. Handhelds are not for everybody. Yet, for somebody that had the PSP/Vita longer than any handheld I ever owned..it just scratches the itch.

ya there was a time when I used to have “every” new piece of tech/gadget but during the quarantine I sold, gave away and threw out so much electronic shyt…shyt I used maybe a few times, only once, or never at all and were still in the boxing/package…I be wasting a lot of money on electronics…particularly tablets and gaming devices
How is this on a plane?
Anyone have experience?

Damn my fault miss this alert. No I haven't done that shyt it seem too much time consuming. I will do it during Thanksgiving time off when I do have the time. I will buy an extra SD card and dual boot it from the reading. I heard game performance isn't that good yet.

thanks i have a great powerbank already, will cop that big micro sd, ill prob ruin installing in that ssd so i won't.
What is that usb c thing needed for?
If you want to to run the steam deck like a pc. Since it has Linux on there, you can actually use it like a regular computer with keyboard and mouse. Hook up the monitor to it and etc. Maybe you want to play on a TV, you can plug the hdmi through it and do what you gotta do.
How long after y'all order did it ship?
Mines took like a day or so before they sent it. So it was almost a week before I got mines.
