Many older and/or casual gamers who've stopped following gaming and are living under the idiomatic rock would absolutely love a steam deck. And a significant portion of those would find it an upgrade over their laptop for Office and shit.
I actually recently got an ROG Ally cause I have prepaid GamePass and felt I was just watching TV instead of playing. I felt so guilty wasting my subscription and watching good games come and go. But once I got the Ally, I've been playing more than I ever been since I was a kid. Even when the wife is watching her shows I can just chill with her playing games.
@echoplex21 @zecg That's been my experience with my Steam Deck as well. Before buying it I had beaten three games in my life. Since buying it I've beaten five more... And ive not even had it for a year yet.
Handheld gaming PCs are fantastic to get back into gaming.
