I am a offshore worker and I am looking to buy a portable gaming system to keep the sirens at bay. I under stand that the steam deck is cheaper but it suffers in performance compared to the gaming laptops.

Can I access my SSDs that I have all of my movies stored on with a steam deck like I would a laptop?

What type of games work best on the deck?

What are some other advantages of the deck compared to a laptop?

I really want a steam deck I just want to make sure it’s money well spent.

    As someone who is a big PC gamer in general I love my Steam Deck, but could not see myself only gaming on it. I like the bells and whistles so I want to play Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk in all it’s glory. I want to be able to play Crusader Kings 3 or say FPS games online with a mouse and keyboard. Having said that, I adore the Steam Deck and it’s an awesome compliment. I can continue a save seamlessly on the deck and some games like indies or JRPG I think are just better and more comfortable handheld. But if I didn’t have a PC I would get a desktop or laptop ahead of the Steam Deck for sure, but that might just be me and my somewhat unhealthy hardware obsession.
