I was a console gamer in my childhood and teens (Split time pretty evenly between Xbox and PS), spent most of my 20’s as a PC gamer but now in my 30’s with two kids I’ve basically transitioned wholly into mobile “console type” devices. I got a Switch about five years ago and played the crap out of that but ran out of “interesting, to me” games to play and when the Deck was announced I signed up basically immediately to get one and it’s been my go to device ever since. I have a Series X and an okay-ish gaming laptop (It has a 3060 and can play most games at medium to high settings) that I purchased to try and get back into serious gaming but neither worked out, the laptop was too hot and noisy and I hate having to take up a TV to use the Xbox if I want to be around the misses. But the portability and comfort of using the Deck just outweighs anything else. I love being able to pull up Cyberpunk, throw in some earbuds and play anywhere without my kids having to see, well anything, in that game but still get my gaming time in regardless.

So yeah, at this point the Deck has completely changed how I game and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, the convenience it offers just outweighs any other form of gaming out there, in my opinion.

If I’m super lucky, the Limited Edition. What I’m expecting, the 1 TB OLED.
