It's awesome that the handheld market is having a comeback, I might pick up one of these instead of a gaming laptop when I decide to upgrade.
It's a good alternative to a laptop.
Personally I use my steam deck as a portable console. For laptops, I opted for a Mac. If someone wants windows, it's really hard to beat this.
I use my Steam Deck as a portable console too. My laptop is a super ultra light thing (XPS 13) that can't run games very well to begin with, but that's fine since I have it for work anyway. In the end, the two of those together still cost less than a competent (and new) gaming laptop. And I don't even have to put up with Nvidia's terrible Linux drivers!
Looks like a good deal. Does it come with a docking station? Might get one for my gf so she can play all the new games.
Good question, never saw any mentions of a docking station with it.
No dock, but you can buy one seperately (or a dongle)
Mine arrives in the mail today. It does not come with a dock.
Can you plug an HDMI directly into it, or would you need a dock for that?
Can't plug an HDMI in directly, but if you already have a USB-C dongle it should work just fine.
Right? I love handhelds, I'm so glad they're coming back.
