Yeah it seems super convenient for that

Thanks! That helps

It seems like a great device for traveling really

That actually makes a lot of sense. I was thinking of selling my gaming PC sometimes in the future and sticking around to SteamDeck

This is basically having every console available atm at the palm of your hands

That’s actually huge! They totally deserve it

That’s really cool! Do you know if it’s possible to get cloud-saves on emulation games as well or is Steam games the only way to go?

Thanks for all the inputs! That was very very helpful! Few things I’ve learned so far: 1 - It’s great for times that you don’t wanna stay in the office all day and spend more time with your loved ones. 2 - You can use Moonlight and Steam Link to local-wifi connect to your PC and play games on it without spending as much battery with a good wifi connection. 3 - It’s AMAZING for commuting and times you are not at your gaming rig 4 - You can basically install anything on it, and it could potentially replace your PC if it’s not as-capable.

I guess I won’t be purchasing it at the time as I have figured I could remote-play on my iPad 12.9 inch, and atm I’m not commuting so much so I guess it’s just a shiny gadget that I’d love to have sometime but don’t really need to spend money on it right now.

I’ll probably wait a few years for SteamDeck V2 to come out (rumors are saying it’ll be here at 2026+ so we’ve got a lot of time!) and it’ll replace my current laptop then.

Thanks everyone! That was very helpful and I learnt a lot from it! Saved a few bucks thanks to you guys and found a new cool way to enjoy my iPad :)

EDIT: Fuck it I’m getting one.

Steam deck seems to be a great solution for a gamer dad

That’s actually a really sweet input! Thanks for that :)
