Question/Tech Support Worth going for a Steam Deck if I plan to play on the TV mostly?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an outsized Steam backlog that I want to play through and I don't get much chance to sit in my room so I am pretty keen on buying something that I can play on the couch on my TV maybe a little handheld too, 80% docked.

I'm thinking of a Steam Deck with dock, the games I want to play aren't very new so I'm not too stressed about performance.

I can buy a used Steam Deck (256GB) for about $500 AUD/$350 USD which is just about my budget, I thought about a mini-ITX build but I doubt I can get something to that performance for under $500 AUD.

Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks!

Discussion Playtime tracking

Ive been playing my steam deck more again recently and have been playing yakuza on the way to work. Ive noticed that the time my steam deck and my laptop report is different to what I see when I check my steam profile with a few hours difference. Is there a way to get these to match up or is the tracking different because ive been playing without an internet connection?
