Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that’s a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

    I went with the Lenovo legion go for the switch-like removable controllers. It’s running CachyOS and I use it more as a mini computer than a gaming device. Same, gaming just doesn’t do as much for me as it used to

      So, what do you do with it? Browse something? Play media? Or you connect external peripherals to it? I just can’t imagine much use case of gaming controls outside games, but I might be less creative.

        Oh I just toss the controllers to the side and use a mini Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. One of the controllers has a mouse built into it too, kinda funky, I don’t use it often.

        May use it as the brains and screen of a cyberdeck build eventually
