I love my Steam Deck. I do a lot of gaming on my regular PC. But I appreciate my Deck when I'm on the go. It's a great portable gaming device and all the games I'm interested in have worked fine.
What might be beneficial to know in your face, since you have your family and want to be close is the "suspend" feature. In the middle of a PC game, you can simple click the power button to Suspend the game and when you're done, just turn it back on and you'll be right where you left it.
This, definitely this! The suspend feature is a lifesaver and really makes it so much more likely for me to stick with and finish a game that I truly enjoy.
Ooh, that is really nice! Thanks!
