When the SteamDeck was first announced I was sure I was going to order one, but when I started reading about the dimensions I came the conclusion that I'd only use it at home, and if I'm home, I can jsut use my gaming PC. If I want to sit on the couch, I can just use Big Picture to my TV and use a controller. If I am on the go, portability is top priority and a pocketable retro handheld fits that use-case. I couldn't imagine using a SD on a plane, what with how closely packed in the seats people are. I'd be elbowing the passengers next to me.

So when do you guys use the SD? Long train/bus commute?

I work from home and after the shift to remote work it didn't take long for me to pretty much stop using my gaming pc because at the end of a work day I kinda want to be out of my computer room.

Most of the time I'm using it on the couch or lounging around the house. I have brought it on planes (flown like 14 times so far this year) and it's not that bad but I guess that may vary from person to person.

It's not for everyone but it fits my needs pretty perfectly.
