I have a quite old gaming laptop, roughly 7 years old, i was thinking in buying the steamdeck for both gaming (i love portable gaming), but im curious about the capabilities of the deck in handling some productivity taks and general work ? you guys having any experience using your decks as “laptops” ?

I’ve used mine with a kickstand (Killswitch), Bluetooth keyboard and mouse a few times. I used it to apply do jobs, edit my resume, and do light CAD work with Onshape. I’m slightly farsighted, so using a seven-inch screen two to three feet away from my eyes is not a problem for me. As long as your use case is compatible with steam OS it might be fine i.e. web based or available in a flatpak. The onboard trackpads can be used without a mouse after you get used to it, but if you need to type or edit text you definitely need a keyboard at the very minimum.
