Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I’ve heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that’s been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

    It should work. But if you don’t need something to carry around you could probably build a more powerful PC for the same price.

      Honestly the LCD decks are so cheap, especially with sales, I don’t think you could build a gaming PC for that price.

      I know the virtual pinball community frequently recommends steam decks to power their pinball cabinets. I would assume that means it’s pretty decent compared to other cheap PC options.

      I suppose I should have mentioned this in the post but I already have a computer I use for gaming at home, was specifically looking for something budget friendly to bring to friends houses and play games. Otherwise I prob would just build a sffpc
