steam deck worth it if i already have a decent pc?

burritogoblin

is it worth getting one just to play in bed/on the couch/while traveling? or is it a toy that ends up in a drawer

depends on your games. indie stuff and older games are perfect. new heavy games run but you have to lower settings alot

streaming from your pc to the deck works great at home too, so you can play the heavy stuff that way

oh i didnt know you could do that, is there input lag?

on good wifi barely noticeable, i wouldnt play competitive shooters like that tho

its a backlog clearing machine. i finished more games in a year on the deck than in 5 years on pc

battery is the weak point. 2-3 hours in heavier games

if you travel a lot its a no brainer. on flights its insane

check if your multiplayer games work first, some with anticheat just dont run on it
