Should I get a Steam Deck? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I've sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2 gen). Would that be a good investment or should I just go for a PC? I travel frequently because of my job.

Not OP, but do you know if I could do something like join a Google Meet while playing a game? Bit specific but it'd really be useful to me.

Definitely possible but you'd probably want a dock and a couple of monitors at the least. And your gaming performance would likely be compromised as videoconferencing is a relatively intensive task.

You can use Discord as there is a flatpak I would imagine meet would run as a web-app so open the steam browser login and go or make an electron/web-app from the page would be my goto.
