I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I’ve sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2 gen). Would that be a good investment or should I just go for a PC? I travel frequently because of my job.
Yeah, that’s exactly my problem with a lot of the Deck’s competitors. They’re trying to out-spec the Deck, but there’s a lot more that factors into a fun experience than just power. SteamOS’s Game Mode might be the best UI I’ve ever used. I also love the Steam Deck’s controls to death and could go on a very long rant about them, but I’ll hold that in.
