Makes total sense but my use case - and from what I can tell, this is very common - is sitting on the couch with the wife in the evenings while she's/we're watching something. There is a couple of hours after the kids go to bed where I could spend that time in the office, or I could be on the couch with her. I don't know if it's a woman thing or just my wife, but she definitely prefers I'm close to her, even if I'm on my phone. Since I like making her happy, I don't spend a lot of time on my PC playing games anymore. The Deck will allow me to play games again, and I'm really looking forward to it. Throw in the ability to play while on vacation/traveling/in bed, plus the cool features like instant resume from sleep (which my PC definitely cannot compete with) and gyroscopes, and I can't remember being this excited about a new gadget.
- willis936 5y agoThis is my primary use case too. I've started using my phone with steam link and an xbox controller to play some of the bigger single player titles I've been sitting on for the past few years (such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk 2077). My 4790k is long in the tooth but it can lock 30 fps in any game. Coupled with a 3070 I can stream 1080p30 at max graphics settings on any of these games and I don't need to buy another computer to do it.
