I'm thinking about replacing my main PC for a steam deck.

Video editing requires heavy amounts of cpu, ram, and is detailed enough where you would want a large monitor with keyboard and mouse most times.

Deck is great for a lot of things, I would say this is not one of them. Can you do it? Sure, you can cook an egg on the back of it while you render for 36 hours. Should you? Probably not.

Plugging it in may give it more power, but doesn't triple the CPU power.
