I am in the same boat, sold my desktop when my kids were born and switched to a gaming laptop. Now my gaming laptop GPU is dying (crashing with artifacting in game) so my steam deck is my main gaming rig. Honestly with the limited amount of time I have to game it works flawlessly. I snagged some of the Hall effect replacement sticks and a 1 tb ssd upgrade as well as a new shell which I will be installing this weekend. Portable gaming computers are the future IMHO and I hope they gain enough traction to force developers to focus on optimization vs pretty graphics covering shitty programming in a game.
