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.
unless you’re willing to replace steam os with windows (you shouldnt to be honest, its the magic of the steam deck), its not a good a desktop.
reading through your other replies, either request a laptop/desktop from your work, they should be the ones providing you your work machine both from a security and business standpoint. If for whatever reason you cant get a computer from work, get a used laptop instead and a cheaper steam deck
