Just pulled the trigger on an OLED. I haven’t played a game on my PC for over a year, it’s simply used to stream football matches to my Chromecast on the weekends.
I already have a laptop and a PS5 that can do the heavy lifting. I also have a PS Vita that gets used daily simply because it’s so convenient, so I know the Steam Deck will get some play.
Just curious about others.
Nah because while the steamdeck is really good, it isn’t as good as most gaming PCs, and its battery is too poor. It is of a similar power to my current PC from 2018, but this PC does everything else better, such as games that run better on Directx 12, or Discord, so I only use the steamdeck if I’m out, travelling, or playing a game that simply feels better on the tinier screen (Heroes of Hammerwatch, Monster Hunter Rise).
I’m on the waiting list for my OLED to come in…
My pc is stupidly more powerful than my deck but i still find myself using the deck far more these days.
I already work all day in front of a pc and nothing beats geting home to my wife, laying in the bed or sofa and playing a bit in the deck to relax.
I have the lcd model and never found the battery lacking for my tastes, for most games i play it gives between 3 to 5h and i rarely get more than that of free time anyway, in the rare cases i do i can always plug it to charge and keep playing lol
I frequently use Moonlight/Sunlight to stream from pc to deck for more intensive games and would recommend this for you if you don’t already
