      The relatively low cost of the machine, the Verified status like you said, the form factor, build quality and great Steam sales. Also the fact I can place all the PC games as well as many of the Xbox exclusives and many PS4 and PS5 games. The Steam Deck just works and it constantly gets updates and support from Valve and the community. I too am a dad. Believe me I get it!

    One good thing coming out of this is devs are targeting the deck so games release already being verified since they made an effort to make sure it ran well on deck. It’s not only good for deck users. But it also helps make sure games run well on lots of different hardware other than just the top of the line stuff.

    The funny thing is that when comparing the Steam Deck with the home consoles, gaming PCs, other handheld PCs, etc the argument is "it's not about the power, it's about convenience etc"
    When the Switch comes up though (that's arguably way better when it comes to that) all of a sudden it's all about the power again 😄

      I wouldn’t suggest one over the other. They both deliver similar experiences on paper, the game catalogs is what defer them. Steam simply has more access than Nintendo. If I had to choose one, I would still choose Nintendo because of my affinity with the franchises.

      I had a swich but it was terrible experiense.. Games even old ones costs alot and if you need to pay for online lol.. Get out of here.
      Steamdeck has the hood parts of console gaming and the good of pc gaming slammed together. Swich, xbox, ps, or windows handhelds are not even close to competing with deck.
      If you doubt it i suggest you try it and then give your opinion.
      As example my girlfriend who was console peasant tried my deck.. Now she has her own deck and xbox is collecting dust.

    and I haven't noticed any weird lag or artifacts that I got with my Switch on the Retrotink.
