It is getting absurd at this poin. Just get a laptop and call it a day

Tbf, the Steam Deck shows up as device type: laptop in the Steam Deck Hardware Survey.

Everyone's hating on this but I can't wait to get one used in 5-10 years. Looks pretty cool to me personally.

I'm always a fan of companies making something new rather than the same old same old (identical black rectangles being the classic example). Yeah a lot of them are terrible but I think they get points for trying!

I love the joycon aspect.

Im down with the screen size but it really needs 4 back buttons instead of 2 and at least 1 trackpad for me to really consider any handheld. I also really like the scroll wheel on my legion go but I can do without on that

Finally, something I can read VN text on

Even SD is too big for me after all. Would be nice to have a handheld with the exact power as SteamDeck, but compact

even with the tiny switch screen we played smash ult on it in kickstand mode with controllers in the break room. turns out if everyone uses dual joycon you get mad input lag before reaching max players. surprisingly playable if everyone can see.

with a bigger lug like this that would be a nicer experience with less squishing together
