I have never regretted buying one. Took it on a long trip and didn't have to miss out on the games I usually play, plus I play a lot of games I don't normally bother with on my desktop.

It’s my favorite device. I’m amazed at how well it runs pretty much everything I throw at it, including unsupported games like DayZ. I take it with me pretty much everywhere, most recently I was playing Fallout 4 at sea world.

I've really been pleasantly surprised by how well Proton works, and how well the Deck performs considering it's a mobile device. It's actually my primary gaming device now, and I often play with it hooked up to my monitor. Sure, I won't get 4k @ 60fps, but considering my previous gaming setup was a potato model PS4, the Deck has been a step up and it runs way more games than a Playstation. Definitely good enough for my tastes

Broo, you could literally walk up to a Orca and show that mofo Half-Life 2 on your Steam Deck.

We are absolutely living in the future.

Yeah! There's games that aren't worth the trouble on PC, but that shine for playing on-the-go!
