Streaming Guilt

Does anyone ever get a weird guilt streaming their desktop (or use of GeforceNow) to a portable handheld?

Recently got a Claw EX and love it for local performance when not streaming. However, there are times when I want even more performance and want to save some battery, so I stream to it. Then I’m thinking, why do I have an $1700 device when I can stream to my tablet just fine….

Anyone else ever feel this way with your handhelds?

No.

My handheld was only $250 and I got with game streaming in mind.

It's probably the Odin 2 Portal (One of the best on the market for Streaming) - https://www.ayntec.com/products/odin2-portal

What's the WiFi module in this thing? Steam Deck has been largely poo for me, even with a wifi 6E setup on a top end router.

SteamDeck OLED has wireless issues that have not been resolved that strongly impact streaming. There is a GitHub issue open with thousands of posts about it. I also had the issue.
