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.

If you're interested in emulation, then the Steam Deck is worth your whole. There's a program called Emudeck that will set you up with all the emulators from Game Boy to PS2 (and more). It's easy to download and run and will do a lot of the configuration for you. While I haven't played any PS2 games on it yet, I have played GameCube games and they run just fine, and most of the older systems will also run well.
