DO NOT BUY Steam Deck - VERY disappointing

Daniel says AAA gaming lasts about one hour, undermining portability; simple games last longer but duplicate the Switch’s strengths. He criticizes the bulky weight, awkward controls, trackpads, paddles, and thumb blisters, preferring Xbox/36-inch monitor setup for extended play. His laptop, Switch, and monitor make the Deck redundant; he recommends Switch models and awaits a lighter, longer-lasting sequel.

His review continues harsh, trend-driven gaming criticism, prioritizing practicality, comfort, and value over novelty.
