Title says it all. Any good ideas?
Get the dock and hook the old deck up to a tv/beamer with BT KB/M and play Starsector on it :)
I’ll gladly take it off your hands
Though I’m going to need to be paid a modest amount for my troubles
Load one up with only emulators and smaller games, make the other your AAA dream machine. I miss my deck.
Use it has you modded deck explore all the possible mods you can do to it and if you break it well, you got a back up !
Give it to me aha aha
I would use it as a linux pc. I think you can change the settings so that it boots up on desktop mode instead of gaming mode every time. Lots of stuff you can do with a portable handheld PC.
Get a smal external HD. Make the deck an emulation machine with batocera
Put windows on it
I thought about that but there’s no real elegant way of moving save states for when you wanna jam on the go and vice versa.
Dedicated TV box and moonlight your desktop to your big TV. Who needs a fuckin x box?
Could make one a Windows Deck and/or an emulation focused Deck
I have a LCD with the anti-glare screen. Opted for the OLED with a regular screen.
I’m going to tell my wife she can use the LCD, but it’ll be the one I take with me on trips. The OLED will be the daily driver.
Home and Plex server.
The deck is a low power device, you could use it as a server by making a syncthings folder to your other devices (home cooked cloud) and it had more, more than enough power to be a excellent jellyfin (open source plex) server
You now have a spare computer, and are able to go down this rabbit hole

Since this is a PC, I presume you can switch the OS version and install Home Assistant on it, and use the display as a way to interract with your Home Automation setup. And I can only imagine that you can use the APU to run some object detection on your webcam streams.
I presume you can also install Proxmox and use it to run a bunch of containers and VMs on top of it, as it is quite capable. You can install Plex, Nextcloud, etc. on it. And you can use the docking station to get it connected through a LAN cable.
