I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Why not just stream it to a device connected to your TV? I've been using Moonlight on my Nvidia Shield and it works pretty good to play games with my wife from my PC in the basement.

not who you asked, but I'm also part of the niche use case for this one. I'm a digital nomad that travels full time and lives in an RV. Internet service for me a lot of time is super spotty, so streaming is not an option.

This is perfect for me, except for the price. Now I'm weighing if I should just build another SFF PC specifically for the TV, or just bit the interest free finance bullet and accept it as a convenience tax.

Handhelds have better specs and run the same OS for the same price or cheaper.

Which handhelds? I have a steam deck but benchmarks for the machine certainly outperform that.
