Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I've got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?

One thing that I can offer advice on to help battery life and overall enjoyment: use per game profiles.

I have my Steam Deck's TDP set to 6 for emulated games most of the time and 8 for more intense games. I run ESO at pretty high settings and get 2-3 hours.

The other being set your framerate to 40 capped unless playing an emulator.

I already do that haha, but thanks. Heavy games like elden ring or switch emulation needs more than that saddly for stable fps.
