It's probably similar. You could just use your phone and controller. My phone screen 6.8 inches, not the best ratio, but the steamdeck is only 7.4 inches.
Like I've been saying, they are basically the same.
Yeah, a laptop can get left out of the equation. Tablet or phone are better.
I don't need a docking station to hook my tablet to TV. I can even stream my tablet screen wirelessly to TV.
Carrying around the docking station goes against it being portable.
Theoretically, all I need is my tablet or phone. 1 item. The controller helps with some games.
You keep saying 3 items...and because my xbox weighs 10+ pounds.
My tablet weighs 1.6 pounds. Steamdeck is 1.48 pounds. Xbox controller weighs .63 pounds.
You're talking about half a pound difference in weight. Tablet takes little to no space and the controller probably half of the steamdeck.
Steamdeck would be great for rides on the subway, walking, and maybe some other things where you need to be fully mobile. I get that aspect of it. Though I can easily pull out just my tablet and play a ton of games that aren't "mobile games"
I've been gaming like this for longer than the steamdeck has been out. I saw the steamdeck and said "why would I want that?" And never got one.
You can stream to a display too. And then why not use steamlink in generall? As it is like the xbox app(?) wokrs
I play mostly on my Xbox. I got all my games and stuff downloaded on that.
If I am playing a PC game, it would be SC2, and I don't use steam. Haven't since CS source.
I carry around the keyboard always with my tablet because it's the screen protector when closed. There's no way I'd carry a separate keyboard and play SC2 on a 7.4 inch screen, that sounds miserable.
