Who’s got a #SteamDeck ? Is it really a substitute for a gaming PC? Seems almost too good to be true

@thomasescritt Could be a full replacement for a more casual gamer, I'd say. But I think it really shines as a supplement to a full gaming PC setup.

In-home streaming to the Deck from your PC is quite viable, and is a good way to get the best of both worlds. This also lets you sidestep needing to worry about storage requirements on the device, letting you focus on keeping more on-the-go or latency-sensitive games installed directly.

I can say I was able to use the Deck as a travel PC easily.

Definitely one of the pluses is to use it as a microPC while traveling. Able to use like a handheld while on a train, plane, or bus but can be made into a more normal set up for other work when at a hotel or whatnot with a bluetooth keyboard.

Definitely lighter than bringing a gaming laptop, anyway.
