It sure is, because I bought one!
Wonder what games play the best on it
Hook it to your TV and couch coop games like Stardew Valley, TMNT, and Tetris are a lot of fun.
Tunic is a blast on steam deck, I highly recommend it. I've also been playing Vampire Survivors, Dishonored, emulated Nintendo games: Breath of the Wild (wii U), Super Mario Bros (switch) , Advance wars (ds). Basically anything that can be played with a controller works well, and some of what needs a mouse and keyboard is also good.
Breath of the wild is amazing on the Steam Deck! As is Tunic.
So many, it's really impressive. Vampire Survivors to Elden Ring (with coop mod and Discord running in the background on SD), to No Man's Sky, to Diablo 4 (through installed battle.net added to Steam as a Non-Steam game on the SD) all run great.
Also, if you have a good pc you can run the game there and stream it to the SD, extends run time on battery by quite a lot.
My current favorites are gamecube games (Tony Hawk Games and 007 Nightfire) and Forza Horizon 5. Played quite a bit of minecraft aswell, but I find it hard to be efficient with a controller.
