I felt like steam deck so great for both people who own and not own a pc
For those who owns a pc probably had game on steam already can download to deck and play their game on the go, or moonlight streaming play their fav steam game on coach or bed or emulation
For those who don’t own a pc, steam deck can also definitely fill their pc gamer heart with most verify + playable game from steam without owning an actual setup (monitor / keyboard/ mouse / pc (case))
if you want it than get it, mostly for portability, only if the steam deck has better spec than your mini pc than it gonna be well worth it
Actually I personally think a ps5 is a lot better than steam deck, in terms of graphic and performance, if your not going to play steam deck handheld mode as much, it a bad decesion to choose an docked steam deck as an main console rather than a ps5
Only if you had game in your steam account or game is cheaper on steam than I could see why is worth it to you, because most people got steam deck is for the portability to play not docked it, so in your situation I wouldn’t say it a nice choice, I personally don’t see the value in as being a TV console since it pretty much same price as a ps5 , but since you had ps4 it still can play some other game i guess
