Firstly sorry if this is like hundreds of other posts, but super torn and thought there wasn’t a better place to ask

So it’s nearly Christmas time and my mother is asking me what I want, I have literally no clue to the point where it’s bugging her but a friend suggested a steam deck and I mentioned it to her and she said she’d be willing to give me some money towards one (I’d never let her buy me it, far too much for Christmas). Okay, cool. Nice, with work, it’s affordable.

My only issue is, whilst I think the deck is really cool and I know I’d enjoy it, I don’t really feel I need one

I don’t travel too much (I did at the start of the month before breaking up w my partner), I have access to my PC a lot of the time and mainly would be worried that I wouldn’t get enough use out of it. I already own a switch but haven’t touched it in a while because I ran out of things to play and the cost of Nintendo titles was a no go.

I have a huge steam library and know there’s many games I could enjoy but just looking for some tips on if it’s actually worth spending the money and if people think it’s a good idea?

Cheers!

    I would say dont get a deck if you have a pc. But if your pc is going unused you can sell it. And if you are without a pc then i can recommend a handheld pc ie steamdeck. Just my opinion, dont like wasting money on redundant hardware.
