I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don't have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it... And I need a wired controller. Then, there's always a pesky update, drivers, stuff... When I'm playing on my X I don't have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

Smartwatch. Utter shit.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Steam Deck. That thing is amazing.

Huh I love my coros watch. But I mostly use it for sports tracking which it obviously does very well., the messages displayed are nice so I can avoid taking my phone out at dinner, and quickly decide if it's a serious text/call or not

I get well over a week battery with daily workouts in there

What did you go for

With gadgetbridge, they could apparently be pretty great, but I haven't tried it.

It depends what you're using it for. If you aren't using it to track your sports activity, it is not that useful. Maybe the notifications are useful. I really enjoy tracking my steps and knowing if I should be more active. I use gadgetbridge, so that my data stays on my phone.
