perhaps a redundant question but is the steam deck good, or may i as well stick with the decent laptop i have? i sorta glossed past its existence when it came out so i dont have a clue on its performance

The steam deck is *amazing* for its price point. GF has been using it to play seamless co-op randomized elden ring with me lately but the biggest value I've gotten out of it is that it's like a Nintendo Switch except compatible with better controllers and already has every third party indie release with my save files from PC and compatibility with mods (and I don't have to buy them again!). A $40 usb-c hub turns it into a living room console with none of the console-ness, it's great being able to boot up screencheat or nidhogg or co-op Isaac with mods.

It runs every game I've thrown at it quite well, though I don't really play "cinematic" AAA games so I can't give a firsthand review of stuff like Sony/Ubisoft stuff. Elden Ring and Stray run great on it though.
