dummy420 03/25/24 5:25:19 PM #6:	My gaming laptop is for travel and I always set it at a desk and not my lap when gaming. Steam deck is easier to just chill and play on the couch. --- Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint. <cite>dummy420 posted [p:979558572] in steam deck...

daftpunk_mk5 03/26/24 10:47:07 AM #10:	Just went to Best buy. Really like how the zephyrus 14 feels but it only has one nvme slot and ships with a 512gb which is a deal breaker. The rog ally felt nice but I like the steam deck touch pads. Legion go was too big and didn't feel ergonomic --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. <cite>daftpunk_mk5 posted [p:979570605] in steam deck...

Dakimakura 03/26/24 10:59:02 AM #12:	For a bit more money you can get a laptop that would absolutely destroy the Steam Deck in performance. However, what really matters is how you want to play. Steam Deck is just the ultimate convenience option while a laptop offers more of a traditional gaming experience. --- Bees <cite>Dakimakura posted [p:979570799] in steam deck...

theAteam 03/26/24 11:25:17 AM #13:	Steam deck doesn't have the hardware to smoothly play the newest AAA games at the highest settings. But it's amazing at basically anything more than a few years old and really shines with emulation. --- Buffalo Bills <cite>theAteam posted [p:979571159] in steam deck...
