Heck yeah! I bought the thing on sort of an impulse when it came out. Figured I really wouldn't really get a ton of use out of it, but neat to have. I was so wrong.

I like gaming on it more than I thought I would. AND when my main PC died, I ended up using the Deck in desktop mode as my replacement desktop monitor/keyboard/mouse setup. With the tiniest bit of getting familiar with the most basic of linux stuff, I was up and running. Ended up just using it like that for almost a year. Little thing exceeded my expectation in many ways.
