Reading up on it with all the OLED buzz. Seems it won’t handle new/graphic intensive games, so geared for older steam games?
Why are people docking this instead of just using a pc?
I play a mix of docked and handheld, about 50/50 actually. I play docked because I work from home and my laptop is hooked up to 2 monitors, and my Deck is on a third. That way I can work and any downtime I get I can just grab my controller and chip away at games.
Then in the evening I’ll bring it downstairs and continue handheld on the sofa. Playing the latest games doesn’t bother me, it can still handle pretty recent stuff but I’m now really enjoying indie games and exploring those more. Plus, I’ll just get whatever iteration of the Deck is out in about 4-5 years and repeat the cycle.
Don’t have mine yet but I don’t have the space in the house to have a PC setup. I have a PS5, Xbox series X, and a switch, I’m also a dad with a small child and expecting to have more kids so having a handheld option while Paw Patrol is playing on the TV is nice. Also budget wise I don’t have the money to build a PC, get a monitor, furniture, etc.
Always wanted to get into PC gaming but this is a nice halfway compromise and it still gives me the option of having it be portable and dock if I wanted to.
