There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.(i.redd.it)

I would actually rather like a Steam Deck without a display but with at least one full USB4 port and the ability to split it similar to a switch.

Yeah I’d love a modern stream machine kinda Deck plugged into a TV.

For now PlayStation is nicer for TV where I can get better performance from the couch with quick resume and all. If I could get a static Deck without portable power consumption limits and decent output on a 4K display that would be ideal. But right now the Deck works docked but when blown up to TV size so many games are a low rez mess. If we could get a proper SteamOS that I could install into a media center PC I’d make it myself. All I’d hope for then is a second gen Steam Controller.

For my use, I would still want the battery/portability. Just without an internal display because I use a 1080p HMD and like playing on the Deck in bed, etc. Add a capability like the joycons but symmetrical and with all of the Deck’s inputs, and I’d be quite happy.
