Not just that, but that basic model has almost no memory. PC games aren't optimized and compressed like console games, and most console games aren't done like Nintendo console games. It will require a lot more memory to download games on Steam Deck than on Switch, which means you will need probably minimum of 250, probably 500g MicroSD card, maybe more depending on how many games you want to have permanently on the device. So dock + larger microSD card.
