PC - Steam Deck looks awful - View Post

It reminds me of some of the switch haters back in the day. When Nintendo moved from 3ds which was genuinely portable to the Switch, some people said it oh it's not portable enough to be a success. It's too big and heavy to appeal to the masses like the wiiU gamepad. Who wants a switch when you can have an ipad instead? Mobile gaming is the future! And the list goes on.

I actually keep on my 3DS, because it is much better portable and also has good games. The reason I love Switch is more on the docked than the portable side. Although I do love that I can take my Switch on vacations, that is clearly a step up from stationary consoles. I would say Switch is in the middle. And as some declare they would put Switch in their pockets - I don't. I use a carrying case and put it in my backpack. I only play it seated. The 3DS fits in a side pocket of my jacket and I can play it standing.

That said, Steam Deck although bulkier seems to fall in the same class: put in a carrying case inside the backpack and only played seated. Same goes for my (rather small) laptop by the way.
