Is Steam Deck Productivity More Than Just A Dream?

We all know the Steam Deck is a brilliant gaming device. But how good is it as a computer? I swapped out my laptop for the day to find out.

I used my Steam Deck with Windows 10 as my main PC for the majority of the year and it was a fantastic experience. I had it hooked into a dock connected to two monitors and I used Geforce Now for any games I wanted to run at a higher resolution.

Class. Awesome that it worked out over such a long period.

for $350 you can play games and get your job done in the same time is as a student is a deal

I was looking at getting a laptop for about 600 bucks but now I might get a steam deck and a portable monitor.

I've been running the steam deck as my only computer for quite some time now. Using the valve official dock, and I haven't had any problems getting work done on it - I was already using external screen, keyboard and mouse with a laptop before, so switching was trivial. I haven't had any issues with my camera or any other peripherals either, but I did re-install the deck to use my favourite flavor of linux though (gentoo). It's an excellent device in my opinion, and the only thing I dislike so far is that I can't get steam VR running with the dock and my valve index. At some point in the future I'll probaby get some AR glasses instead of the screen, so I can carry with me a "dual-monitor" setup, like the nreal/xreal air 2, or rokid max. will probably wait one or two more generations before I commit to that though..

For such professional programs, there's a lot of free alternatives that, depending on youir use case, can be on par or even better. Krita, Davinci Resolve, Inkscape, GIMP, etc.

That keyboard is pretty, which one is it? I'm looking for a 60% keyboard for my future deck.

[@IntentionalTech]

Thanks. It's the Nuphy Air75 v2. There's a review of it up on the channel and they're actually sending me the new 60% version of the same one for an upcoming video so watch this space :)

@@IntentionalTech thanks for the answer. Will check the video out!
