    I would say getting a steam deck counts as getting into pc gaming because it really is a pc, just in a handheld body, and if laptop gaming (where you basically build nothing) counts as pc gaming, then this definitely can as well haha

      welk basically laptops or notebooks whatever you may call them are portable desktop transformed into flip type device so if laptops are counted as portable pc... then steam deck are portable pc as well... just removed the keyboard and mouse thingy. but for me it is not just a portable pc...it is a hybrid portable pc just like the switch as a hybrid console

    I am primarily a Switch player, but not typically a Nintendo player. I like the on-the-go versatility of the Switch. I have an Xbox Series S and PS3, 4, and 5. I still prefer the Switch to those if for no other reason, I can play on the go. I just got my Steam Deck in a couple days ago. I installed a few games I had from Steam and I am finding the games on Steam have awesome sales.
    One game I was holding out for and considering was No Man's Sky on Switch because it was just released, and NMS is a fantastic game to play on the go. That said, they were too many compromises made I feel. I picked it up for less than half the price on the Steam Deck and I'm just blown away! The performance of other AAA titles on the Steam Deck are running incredibly well at 40fps/40Hz and the games look super smooth.
    So, I've never been a PC gamer, but I've always loved hand held gaming. The Steam Deck is going to steal my life. It's incredible.

      I plan on getting the 2nd iteration when it comes out. I hated the battery life and heating on the OG Switch (only lasted 3 years before I had to get the V2), the difference between the V1 and V2 was night and day for me. The Steam Deck seems to have the same issue. If they can fix those two things and include an OLED screen, I'm sold.

    i could care less about this console wars thing. Steam Deck isn't here to kill Switch. and Switch Pro(next Nintendo console) won't kill Steam Deck , the differences are night and day.

Also it reminds me of when we have we had to PSPs like a whole bunch of people had a pspo game boy but mainly PSP and we used to like connect and play FIFA or metal gear solid portable or just games in general it was just it was a good time and now to be able to actually have this again but like on a bigger scale obviously yeah you can't be bringing this big thing into school cos it's massive right but like it's awesome it's great and yes you could also bring like you know a switch but most people nowadays have like this the LG switch on the switch OLED not a lot of people that I know have the switch lite I don't have mine anymore cos that's gone but like still it's like this which seems to me more like constant even that is but I mean I didn't feel like the game boy or the 3DS it doesn't feel like that which is weird because it basically is that it is that it just doesn't feel like it the steam deck does which is weird to say it just feels like an internal product but it does something about this team but just in general it feels like it's an internal product but jailbroken as you like because you can you go to desktop mode go on the internet and do a whole bunch of kind of stuff that basically you can only do one said consoles if you jailbroken

      @@asunavk69 I'm sorry I fail to see the real benefit of getting the switch over the SD. Essentially you are saying that the enticing reason to get a switch is to play online games which the SD can't do. Online is trash on the switch. Every game. Splatoon 3? Trash. Smash ultimate? Giga trash. Also, having more control isn't a good thing. It doesn't make the experience better. Valve sends updates for optimizations all the time and the fact that I can play switch, SNES, PS1, ps2, 3ds, ds, etc. From a singular device and then switch it to a PC when I need to for $399 is sooo much better than a $429 switch with half the horsepower just so I can play smash ultimate online with a 17 frame delay. I know you are neutral but to me the SD is a landslide killer for the switch. Only place that needs improvement is battery life.
