And both of them are far worse than a Steam Deck.
I have a PC. Why on earth would I ever buy a Steam Deck?
Saves on the electric bill, too.
Typically it's more cost-effective to play smaller, less intensive games on the Deck than your big gaming rig.
That's something that often goes unnoticed. I don't even necessarily pay attention to the power bill, I don't like dealing with the heat. I'm in a hot climate and this time of year I most definitely don't want to be running an 800W heater constantly. Despite the fact that it makes the PC build so much simpler because I'm not having to go to autistic levels of detail to get that much heat out of that little space quickly enough. My system runs on less than 300W total and it's find. I don't need to chase a few pixels, because if I'm honest 80% of the time can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4K in gaming, and that's on a 65" 4K OLED.
Don't have a Steam Deck though, because I don't care about handheld at all. I just wish everything PC gaming wasn't "OMG moar heat to dissipate"
Can't count how many times I've absentmindedly used my desktop as an extra heat source. Which almost never works out according to plan though there have been exceptions.
Yeah, for me if I want to play a game with all the pixels in 4K I will play it on the gaming rig. But otherwise, I don't need to play games like Starbound or Prodeus in 4K.
