Steam Deck's desktop environment is barely usable without connecting it to a dock and using an external keyboard and mouse.
You won't use it as a daily driver in handheld mode. The virtual keyboard covers half of the screen, the touchscreen is unusable as a mouse and touchpads are inconvenient.
Ordinary laptops don't have these problems.
- Dylan16807 3y agoI deliberately didn't compare it to a laptop, because the topic at hand is whether it qualifies as a "desktop". If it can function without an external keyboard and mouse that's a bonus feature.
- einr 3y agoTo be fair, a desktop tower computer is not usable without using an external keyboard and mouse either.
