How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase? (sopuli.xyz)

I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

I bought mine specifically for use with work trips in mind and I was able to get a lot of use on a month long trip late last year so yeah I'd say it's already priced it's worth for me. I don't really use it in the house or everyday, but it'll be ready to go for my next work trip!

This is the main reason I want one. I originally got a gaming laptop for work trips, but my main computing device is such a scary thing to bring on trips. A deck would be perfect though.
