It advertises being the easiest way to get into PC gaming and I really hope that’s true and that’s been my biggest selling point along with it’s price tag. I’ve never rly been a pc gamer and find it’s a bit complicated. I barely got the tech skills to install some emulators on my laptop. Comparing the Steam Deck to competitors like the Legion Go and Rouge Alley which have better specs at only a little larger price tag but how user friendly are they? Is the Steam Deck really any easier to use then these competitors?
Exactly this! Its hard to overstate how much Steam OS lowers the barrier to just getting into your games. It truly is a fully consolized experience for PC Games.
Simple and versatile.
Add on to that, the touchpads (often disregarded) you have access to the most PC of PC games that require a mouse (Civ, Pillars of Eternity, obviously much much more).
As a handheld focused on playing traditional PC games, nothing rivals it.
