I am a offshore worker and I am looking to buy a portable gaming system to keep the sirens at bay. I under stand that the steam deck is cheaper but it suffers in performance compared to the gaming laptops.

Can I access my SSDs that I have all of my movies stored on with a steam deck like I would a laptop?

What type of games work best on the deck?

What are some other advantages of the deck compared to a laptop?

I really want a steam deck I just want to make sure it’s money well spent.
