When the SteamDeck was first announced I was sure I was going to order one, but when I started reading about the dimensions I came the conclusion that I'd only use it at home, and if I'm home, I can jsut use my gaming PC. If I want to sit on the couch, I can just use Big Picture to my TV and use a controller. If I am on the go, portability is top priority and a pocketable retro handheld fits that use-case. I couldn't imagine using a SD on a plane, what with how closely packed in the seats people are. I'd be elbowing the passengers next to me.
So when do you guys use the SD? Long train/bus commute?
It's been major for me with RVing. I guess I could have used a gaming laptop but given the limited "table" space in an RV the handheld formfactor is a major advantage. That plus the minimal power requirements - I don't need to factor it in to our off-grid time at all, while a 200W gaming laptop would definitely be noticable.
I also just prefer it for home. Sitting on the couch, in bed, whatever. I find it comfortable to play on.
