Then what's the point. Just buy a gaming laptop.

Because it is handheld and all of it's resources are focused on gaming.

Just saw this thread and had to comment. Steam deck can be as easy as a switch. Sure, if you want to play games outside of steam it takes a little work, nothing a YouTube video can’t enable a monkey to do though. I agree with the other guy, but for a different reason. You really don’t have to be ‘good with tech’ to play a deck, just like you don’t have to be ‘good with cars’ to do standard maintenance. Watch a quick video, easy as 1-2-3.

Or just play the crazy amount of games steam had compatible and require 0 extra work at all.

I think you are overestimating the vast majority of peoples intelligence.

If anything I’m overestimating their motivation or ability to put forth any effort. Again, it doesn’t take many brain cells to watch a YouTube video and copy what they do, though I think most people would care less and just play steam games like I said, which is what the deck was technically made for and requires little to no effort to do.
