I pre ordered my deck on mostly a whim and also because i couldn't get my hand on a decent graphic card around 2021/2022. I used to think that the idea of portable gaming PC was kinda dumb : It's like a gaming laptop and worst in every way.

But i have to admit that i was very wrong, and in the now 8 month i have had the device, it been my main vector for playing games and by a long shot.

The interesting thing about this device, at least in my case his that it changed my preferences in term of which game i buy and mostly play. I almost never play big AAA anymore and nowday focus on simple indie/pixel arts/2D games and for that this console really shines. Actually i would love to trade some of that CPU/APU performance for a better AMOLED screen and smaller size.

Now if only MSFT could also launch a portable console tied to a game pass subscription... One can only dream
