Just pulled the trigger on an OLED. I haven’t played a game on my PC for over a year, it’s simply used to stream football matches to my Chromecast on the weekends.

I already have a laptop and a PS5 that can do the heavy lifting. I also have a PS Vita that gets used daily simply because it’s so convenient, so I know the Steam Deck will get some play.

Just curious about others.

    I can’t tell you how many times I stop and realize I’m playing my steam deck while sitting at my desk with my Gaming pc and UW screen monitor off in the background- Seems like convenience trumps most…

    No.

    I also cannot play any of the games I play on my gaming pc on a steam deck.

    Like CS2. I need a mouse and keyboard and I need 240hz.

    I’m definitely ditching my gaming consoles in favor of the SD, docked mode on my entertainment center. I’m not going to be traveling for awhile, and wince I only play it docked it really doesn’t make sense to purchase the OLED.

    I can confirm that my 3070 laptop doesn’t get as much love as the Steam Deck, by a long shot

    I haven’t used my gaming PC(8700k+2070S) and Gaming Laptop(razerblade 14 w/ rtx 3070) for almost 2 years. Been busy playing ps5 or switch and steam deck.

    I would love to, but certain games I play simply need to be played with a keyboard and mouse like Rust or CSGO, perhaps. Sure, I could bring those things with me, but at that point, it’d be entering laptop territory.

    I don’t have a PC and the day I eventually build one I’m a bit sad that I’ll probably do the opposite !

    It’s been the opposite. I use my gaming PC more now. I was playing a majority on PS5, but the deck actually brought me more back to PC gaming. PC during the day and deck while out or in bed later at night.

    I only gamed on my Steam Deck until Starfield came out, then I bought a Lenovo gaming PC and now I stream to my Steam Deck from that machine when I’m at home or have access to a high speed internet connection. The flexibility is great. I run Steam in a Linux docker container on the Lenovo desktop machine.
