I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

I use it mostly docked and play on my TV. I know it is not the primary purpose, but playing PC games on the couch on a big TV is just great.

I started using it a lot more once I got the dock. Before I wasn't sure if it was the right purchase, because I didn't use it as much as I would like to.

Of course sometimes it comes with me when I am traveling.

Basically I am using it the same way as my Switch and in the end it was really worth it. I got one with the second batch I believe and I used it many hundredths of hours so far.

Did you go with the official dock?

Yes, I wanted it to just work and it does so without any major problems for the most part. I wish there was an option for remote wakeup with controllers though (keyboard or WoL works though).
