    Just picked up a steam deck because I was worried prices might spike soon due to RAM shortages, saying I am amazed by it feels like an understatement.

      First tech device I’ve ever bought where I didn’t feel some amount of buyer’s remorse. There’s nothing I dislike about it, and I can even install my own distro on it, if I so desire. Because of the form factor, I’ve even been able to tackle my backlog!

        Maybe I’m in the honeymoon phase but I can’t put it down, I love my gaming pc but the deck just keeps impressing me. I also fly a ton, and had been using a Switch, which I have now replaced with the deck.

        I got an MSI Claw instead of the Steam Deck and I adore it, but the best decision I made was to get a USB-C docking station like the one in the photo. It turns it into a full desktop PC.

        Even better is that eventually you can connect an eGPU to that dock to a massive boost when you’re at the desk. The Claw has replaced my desktop and laptop.
