Actually I personally think a ps5 is a lot better than steam deck, in terms of graphic and performance, if your not going to play steam deck handheld mode as much, it a bad decesion to choose an docked steam deck as an main console rather than a ps5

Only if you had game in your steam account or game is cheaper on steam than I could see why is worth it to you, because most people got steam deck is for the portability to play not docked it, so in your situation I wouldn’t say it a nice choice, I personally don’t see the value in as being a TV console since it pretty much same price as a ps5 , but since you had ps4 it still can play some other game i guess

I felt like steam deck so great for both people who own and not own a pc

For those who owns a pc probably had game on steam already can download to deck and play their game on the go, or moonlight streaming play their fav steam game on coach or bed or emulation

For those who don’t own a pc, steam deck can also definitely fill their pc gamer heart with most verify + playable game from steam without owning an actual setup (monitor / keyboard/ mouse / pc (case))

if you want it than get it, mostly for portability, only if the steam deck has better spec than your mini pc than it gonna be well worth it

I would recommend cyberpunk it had such good optimized for steam deck that I play about 45% of the game on my deck and rest on my pc

I’ll share with you what I currently going to buy, The yakuza bundle currently list at 35$ 7 game (yakuza 0-6 same series) yakuza 7 is also on sale right now can get the whole series for under 50$ it an JRPG with story and combat it mostly about Japanese gangs “yakuza”

And another JRPG I recommend is final fantasy 7 remake, it a really well made game fun combat good story, always will be my top game to recommend but it like 35$ if I were you choosing between the bundle and FF7 remake I would take the bundle as it should entertain me longer with 6 games

I see people post about they accidentally drop their deck and the screen protector cracked but their actual screen are still good, you will regret after thing happens… like 10-20$ protector for an 400-600 device I think it worth it (I put my protector like 6 time , 3 pack of protector because for some reason always has very small or tiny bubble/ dust inside)

To be honest I got my steam deck about few month ago just to play some game that I don’t normally wanted to play on pc (rpg games like dragon quest or persona 5), it just shocked me that they chose to upgrade the screen / battery/ fan but not the actual spec of the device, for all these it only worth for those who haven’t got a deck yet, for those who already got a deck if they going to get this one it the exact same thing but the screen (biggest change)

The new deck start with 550$ and the old lcd deck is on sale 64 gb 350$ / 512gb 450 it gonna be gone soon and they only will keep selling the lcd 256gb deck, get the 64gb right now if you don’t care about the Oled screen, get the oled one if you don’t care about your wallet and they probably gonna release an full upgraded steam deck 2 in another 1-2 year
