I have a 6600xt and a Steam Deck. I don’t really prefer either, and end up playing both.

Indie titles I’ll play on the Deck, and AAA titles I’ll play mostly on my pc but occasionally swap to the Deck if I’m in bed or something. I also now pretty much exclusively emulate on the Deck instead of my pc.

Spider-man, for example, I played through on both. I did main story missions on my pc for the graphical fidelity during cutscenes or more cinematic sequences, while all the side quests, collectibles, and challenges I did on the Steam Deck.

The pause functionality is awesome. You pause/suspend the deck with one button. Then whenever you come back to the game you hit the same button and boom right where you left off. Perfect for short sessions here and there. I've completed more games on the Deck in the past year than I have on my desktop in the past 5 years.

I mostly game stream to mine but I still get AAA mileage out of it when there's no network available. I've been chipping away at TotK, streamed from my desktop.

You want one cause everyone is talking about it. You already said
you dont need it.

Mine sits next to my other
computers, and I dont really
use it, and Yes, I dare say
it, I put win11 on it!!!!

I use it to play roms and
test linux distros.

I have a 8 inch laptop
for bed, that perfect.
Light, not to bright.
easy on the eyes.

I love my steam-deck.
Its great for those long
streaks in the bathroom.

Ill never sell it-
