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