I have a gaming laptop so I can already game from the couch just fine… and yet I still want one of these so bad

Can't play lying on your back with a laptop. It's glorious. Deck's so wide too that it feels natural to play like that, holding all the device weight on your albows.

I like relaxing outside and playing which I couldn't do with my desktop.

I was a laptop gamer for years, but I like the Deck's form factor much better for handheld gaming on the coach, or kicked back in a recliner.

Laptops weren't terrible, but it is nice to not have certain biological bits slowly crushed and overheated lol
