I’ll get a used LCD one in a few months. Looking foward to it.

Good call. I still have mine from 2022. I payed the 5 bucks to pre-order on the first day. I really just thought I was at least putting money into Linux and showing interest. I wasn't expecting much but, shocked at how good the Steam Deck actually was. Valve really stepped up and turned a decent handheld (that I would still be using today in the state it was released in), into really well done polished device. The LCD is even getting Wake-on-BT in the next Steam OS 3.7 release. I tried the preview, it works great. In a couple years when the Steam Deck 2 releases, if I'm still playing older titles, I'll probably just wait for the first sale to buy. You can't go wrong with a Steam Deck. It'll change the way you play games.

Yeah I can’t wait.

I think it’ll be a perfect combo. Playstation 5 for demanding games, Steam Deck for less demanding games and a Surface Go linked to a big screen for administration.

You can set your Steam Deck up to stream the PS5 with Chiaki (https://git.sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki). Pretty cool feature for when the TV is in use.

Yeah I know about it.

It’s great to have this option 👍
