I have one. After being a console gamer since 2002-ish. This is my soft open to seeing if I want to invest in a gaming PC.
It totally eclipses my switch and I have a much smoother experience than I’ve had with my ps4 lately. It runs gamepass pretty well and games like prey,control, and dishonored 1/2 run on it just fine without any performance changes.
The steam shop lets you know how well set up the game is for the deck and it often undersells how well it works. I’ve got a couple games that aren’t certified for the deck that run without issue. I have a 3rd party dock with a 2tb memory bank for playing on my tv with a scuf control or keyboard and mouse and it switches modes seamlessly.
You obviously aren’t getting a full bore gaming PC experience but this thing has exceeded my expectations and I haven’t even got into the tweaks and emulator side of things. Its good enough that I’m not really sure I can justify a pc. I’ll probably just get s gaming monitor.
