The Steam Deck is getting long in the tooth. New triple A games don’t run very well on it or aren’t even playable. It’s fine if you wan tot run older games or indie games, but otherwise you might have to look for one of the competitors.

I mean, I've been using a Switch to play games portably so far. A Steam Deck will be a revelation by comparison.

For sure. It’s a great machine. I have one. But I’m trying to keep expectations down. Some people might be surprised to know that it isn’t a latest gen machine. Some people might have too high expectations because of all the rave it gets.

I have a PS5 and decent PC for the stuff that the Deck can't handle. I tend to prefer older games, anyway.
