Good day!

I need help. I have enough savings to buy a decent laptop around the same price point as the 512GB Steam Deck. The problem is that laptops at this price point are horrible at gaming. So I am seriously considering getting the Deck instead. My usual workday includes writing code in PyCharm, accessing Github through browser, and MS Word and MS Excel. Does anyone here have a decent experience with using the Steam Deck with those applications? Thank you so much.

    I made it about 6 months without a PC using my deck for emailing, researching and online recreation. I’m writing this right now from my SD.

    I did fire up my old laptop to do my taxes on but mostly because it had my data from last year on the harddrive and I also never found a good solution for printing to my ancient laser printer. Otherwise it’s just fine.
