Thanks for all the inputs! That was very very helpful! Few things I've learned so far: 1 - It's great for times that you don't wanna stay in the office all day and spend more time with your loved ones. 2 - You can use Moonlight and Steam Link to local-wifi connect to your PC and play games on it without spending as much battery with a good wifi connection. 3 - It's AMAZING for commuting and times you are not at your gaming rig 4 - You can basically install anything on it, and it could potentially replace your PC if it's not as-capable.
I guess I won't be purchasing it at the time as I have figured I could remote-play on my iPad 12.9 inch, and atm I'm not commuting so much so I guess it's just a shiny gadget that I'd love to have sometime but don't really need to spend money on it right now.
I'll probably wait a few years for SteamDeck V2 to come out (rumors are saying it'll be here at 2026+ so we've got a lot of time!) and it'll replace my current laptop then.
Thanks everyone! That was very helpful and I learnt a lot from it! Saved a few bucks thanks to you guys and found a new cool way to enjoy my iPad :)
EDIT: Fuck it I'm getting one.
EDIT: Oh fuck it, you guys convinced me. Gonna get mine in a few 🥳
