My Steam Deck has been awesome, money very well spent.

And Valve has made a good chunk of money off me since buying it too lol. I keep getting games specifically for the Deck.

I bought like 200 games since I had mine though mostly indie and actually played a lot of them! I spend quite a bit of time traveling and it's awesome to play some strategy with the trackpad - the trip just flies by!

I upgraded my PC and now I barely touch my steam deck. The money spent on it is still VERY worth it. Even if I never touched it again, I use it when traveling, I would still be unbelievably satisfied with my purchase.

In a similar boat. However I now have games strictly for the Deck and games strictly for the Desktop.

I’d use a Steamdeck mini if was available. The current size for my needs makes me classify it as a non-portable. Hope the next version they have a smaller variant along with the larger one.
