I love handheld gaming. I just love the idea that I can play any game I want everywhere I go. That’s why I bought the switch 3 years ago and until I played with it almost daily.

I have a decent gaming pc with 5600x rtx 3070 combo and I can play everything with 60fps on my 1080p monitor.

Recently I bought a ps5 as it had a very nice discount for black friday and I had a ps4 for exclusives. I was amazed how nice and crisp ps5 games look on oled. And now I am playing gow ragnarok and gran turismo 7. Before I made the decision to buy the ps5 I wanted to connect my pc to my tv from living room but it is so frustrating to do that and a very long 2.1 hdmi is so expensive as I decided that I should not bother anymore and I also have the exclusives.

After playing games with very nice details on my ps5 I started to find my switch graphics and performance very outdated and I feel that a steam deck can fill that void but I am going to lose the switch exclusives. Also the battery life is not that great on the deck.

I don’t want to make a decision right now as my bank accout still recovers from recent acquisitions but I am still thinking if I should stop and be happy with what I have, sell my switch and buy a deck or just buy the deck and don’t think about it.

    If it’s going to break your budget then absolutely do not get one. If you can swing it, you wont regret it. I own a PC with a 13600k/4080, laptop with a 2080 Super, Xbox SX, and Switch. My SD gets just as much usage as my main PC while my laptop, XSX, and switch all collect dust. The SD is easily my favorite device
