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?

Depends on your hands I would argue.
Yes, it is a big brick, that may be unwieldy for some. If you have a chance, try to test play it somewhere from a friend or anything.
Battery life also could be better, depending on the load of your game it may only hold 2~3 hours.
Heat is another factor, it can get kinda warm (&loud) during busy games.

I personally love my steamdeck and it has currently completely replaced PCGaming for me. Especially with it being also an amazing Emulation Machine.
Howevever, I do understand why some people don't like the feel of it. To me and my big hands, it feels comfortable and nice to use, but some people may have problems.

very interesting. i am almost average height so it would feel huge for me hahaha to be honest i have been dreaming for a console like this my entire life because i knew it was where we were going. and now its finally here but since its the first model i just need to wait a bit longer for it to evolve and fix these problems in the next console.
