Yup, it’s a lovely device for the form factor but that’s about it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the steam deck for exactly that reason but were I inclined to game behind a desk I’d 100% go for a midrange desktop. Alternatively the series S can be gotten for 250$ right now which is a whole lot cheaper and will be able to play new releases for years to come at a very reasonable performance level. Why someone would want to get the deck almost exclusively for docked gaming is beyond me.
