I don't quite understand the criticism. It's not gonna be top of the line, but it's more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.

If that was true the steam deck would have already done it.

    Steam Deck is held back by the perception of mobile gaming. Many don't know how powerful it is, so it competes with the Switch more than PS5.

    As much as i love video games, steam devices and all that jazz, i never saw a reason to get a steam deck.

    Yeah, I know I'm not the target demographic.

    That doesnt mean I dont think its an interesting piece of tech, and I would like one as a toy/curiousity.. but i'd only get one if I can get it used/second hand and dirt cheap (and probably broken, so i can drive the price lower and fix it myself)
