Valve's popular handheld gaming PC recently passed 14,200 officially rated games, meaning there's never been a better time to own one.

This is just talking about games approved through Valve’s verification process. There are a lot of games that work that are “unverified”, not to mention the entire history of gaming available through emulation.

    What? Didn’t realize it was such a draw, but irregardless as I said, you just unplug the screen. Its as easy as that with a hub, just like a switch. I do it daily.

      A switch doesn’t need you to unplug anything. Drop it in, take it out. 3s of interruption. I love my deck and never use my switch but even I get the appeal.

          What kind of patronizing bullshit is this? I talked about the steamdeck dock like 2 comments ago. Of course I know what a hub is. If you’re going to be an ass then just end the conversation now and do us both a favor. You obviously know I know what that is.

            Thats what I’m saying, a hub and a steam deck act the same as a switch, I don’t understand your point.

              If you think switching from handheld to dock and back is the same experience with switch and deck then you haven’t tried both.

              Again, I love my deck. But it has a lot of quirks to deal with the switch simply doesn’t. The “verifying installation” bug is still an ongoing issue for people taking it out of their homes and swapping between gaming/desktop mode is still very clunky and unreliable. It’s a great machine I use it almost daily while my switch collects dust, but the switch is by far the more seamless/stable experience.

                I don’t know what to tell ya, im sorry your experience is so buggy. My 7 year old child has been able to walk around and it enjoy it like a switch, thats literally all that matters to me. Lots of other people like to complain and it say its not stable at all, and thats just simply not true either.
