I use a 15" 4k one, but yes exactly that, light portal, super thin, detachable full sized keyboard on it and slip cover carrying case. Great as a second screen

I use a 15" 4k one, but yes exactly that, light portal, super thin, detachable full sized keyboard on it and slip cover carrying case. Great as a second screen or to use the deck in desktop mode... Plus on airplane I can just use the deck as is to game and pass the time

What model is your portable monitor? Do you have any pictures of what it looks like all set up on a table with the Steam Deck, the monitor and your keyboard? And also a picture of what it looks like all folded together? And also a picture of what it looks like when packed into a bag? Sorry for the tall ask. But I’ve been thinking about maybe buying a Steam Deck for a while. So these kinds of pictures would be most helpful. I often carry my work laptop and my personal laptop with me. Tried an iPad Pro for a little while for personal things but decided the iPad Pro was not worth it for me at the time so I returned it. Might also try using an iPad Pro again in the future.

  I use this guy. https://www.lg.com/uk/laptops/lg-16mq70 https://www.lg.com/uk/laptops/lg-16mq70 Although it's usb c only I found this guy: https://amzn.eu/d/9NTNCcc https://amzn.eu/d/9NTNCcc Which hooks to the steamdeck-docks hdmi and usb (for power). The screen is just a big iPad in terms of size. The dock is like a very lightweight dongle and then whatever you go for for protection of the steam deck. I have a pretty standard rucksack bag that I can happily cram all of this (along with a 13inch mbp) nuphy air and wireless mouse with. It's the best for work trips because the screen does both work mode and then serious gaming mode.

  The one I bought was this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGRK3J5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGRK3J5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_... And a generic case https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08MXGHP6K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08MXGHP6K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_... It looks like it's not available now but there's several Chinese brands that look like they sell the same thing. I was worried about it at first but I figure with Amazon prime coverage and credit card protection, if it lasted through those coverages of 90 days it will last for a few years if properly cared for. I don't have any pictures of it setup. I didn't get the official dock for the deck. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BKHBM1N9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BKHBM1N9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_... When setup the dock tucks neatly behind the monitor so it looks like just a monitor keyboard thing.

That sounds cool. May I ask which monitor?
