Is the OLED Steam Deck worth it?

Thinking of picking one up. I'd use it to play comfy non-AAA games in bed for snuggle time :marseyneet:

I've been playing on my laptop but the ergonomics suck and its a pain in the butt :marseypain:

I also travel a fair bit and it would be great to soy out in business class :marseysoyswitch:

All the internet reviews seem kinda astroturfed so I'll ask the most reliable people I can think of: The socially inept r-slurs of rdrama :dramatardlove::dramatardlove::dramatardlove:

Reviews are generally accurate. Only really downsides are the battery life is still meh and Linux can be fiddly. I basically only use my full gaming PC to play Fortnite.

Surely the battery life heavily depends on the game being run? I'm probably going to run low-tier games with this so I'd like to imagine I can get 3 hours worth at least running Balatro or FTL right?

If the goal is to tryhard I'm going to mouse + keyboard at the rig anyway.

Yeah you should get 3hrs+ plus with those games. I get around 1.5hrs paying Red Dead 2.

Probably can keep it charged on a plane/train these days anyways, with USB/outlets being much more prominent
