My chart would be even more skewed to the Deck.

The Deck is amazing with young kids around. Desktop gaming sessions are impossible until after their bedtime. Being able to pickup and play and put the console to standby in an instant and move to another room with the kids is amazing. I wouldn’t get any game time if I didn’t have a portability.

It really helps that I almost exclusively play Indies which the Deck is really perfect for.

Mostly I only have to keep one machine updated but besides that I can play really really long game from anywhere such as RPG’s, that I used to love but I sit at work now so staying at a desk after already sitting for hours kills me, I can move seamlessly from my desk to the living room to my bed to the toilet. Also this doesn’t show the whole story, I have a ton of emulated games that wouldn’t look any better on my pc anyway and getting all the controls set up is a royal pain so this way I only have to do it once and can dock anywhere I really do hope we are going to a one pc future, the only real benefit my computer has is the graphics and you would be surprised how much those just don’t matter, heresy I know but I genuinely don’t care anymore this coming from someone who spent 1500 On a Pc with a 3080 during Covid times, I notice the difference the frame rate can suck depending on the game you’re playing but honestly I just don’t care about that as much as as the convenience. fighting with Windows is a game all in itself one I used to love but now I am a software engineer and will stay as far away from that as possible.
