That's one other reason why the steam deck is appealing to me. Small size, close to average desktop level performance (ballparking it on the fact that it runs AAA games well).

During travel I could bring it along in my carry bag, and an external monitor in a backpack.

I've also seen some nice portable&foldable bluetooth keyboards that have a trackpad on the side. Not a fan of the nubs.

Actually a very interesting idea - I wonder if there will be third party cooling plates like we see for laptops that can be used with the steam deck. Would be nice to have a nice secondary little passive/active thing you could place below it to make sure it stayed nice and cool for desktop use.

I thought I was the only one. Now I know there's at least two of us!
