I am interested in steamdeck but I have heard that it is really heavy if you are holding it for many hours. (kbin.social)

Does this console worth it? Also how hot does it get in the summer if you are doing demanding things without AC?

It's comfortable to hold, I have the kill switch on mine with the kickstand, I usually use a pillow or a table as a support with the kickstand up. It's still not as heavy as it looks, very comfortable in the hands.

As for heat, it gets pretty hot, but not scolding hot. It's designed to last years

yeah.. heat is my biggest problem. i have lost many laptops since where i live it gets really hot in august, usually melts plastics hahaha, hopefully now that i bought an electricity protector it wont happen again from the electricity side, but for handheld devices its still scary with the insane heat
