Should I get a Steam Deck? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I've sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2 gen). Would that be a good investment or should I just go for a PC? I travel frequently because of my job.

As a fellow traveler, a Steam Deck is an absolute game changer

Oh yeah I bring my steam deck with me on all my work trips (and fun ones too ofc). It's makes work trips much more bearable.

It's much easier to carry around compared to a laptop, less heat, you can use it on a plane all the time without being cramped, you can play it a few minutes, switch it to standby and then resume later whenever you have a few minutes more...

Yeah you're constantly stopping and starting while traveling so the standby feature is clutch.
