I’m trying to justify buying a steamdeck when I can play steam games on my laptop.
It isn’t like I travel or have some need of a portable thing. About the only justification I can make is that steam performs poorly on my linux laptop because I don’t have optimized drivers or gfx card for it.
What made you give up your money for a steamdeck?
Laptops weigh more, are more bulky and have high enough resolutions to require more powerful hardware to get similar or better results, driving prices up. And no, a $700 laptop is not worth buying for gaming.
