To me, it's looking like a replacement for a PC and a portable device, and does not need to compete against a console. And that's what I'm looking for. I'm just sick of the rising price of video cards, and the worsening state of Windows. I've had plans to upgrade my video card for a while now, and could never justify it. I feel like it's as viable now to get a Deck and a PS5 Slim or a Pro than to get a PC and another portable. PC gobbles up too much power as a desktop nowadays and too expensive as a premium machine.

It was my steam deck that convinced me to just wipe windows from my laptop and install Kubuntu which is basically the same as steamOS. I had no idea Linux desktop was so good these days. Bye bye windows! I love my steam deck but I also still need a laptop form factor, I can't always dock it and use it as my PC.
