I mean it does exactly what you want and has the benefit that if you really feel like it you could take it somewhere, but you don’t have to, if you buy it it’s up to you exactly how you use it.
I’ll need to get a dock for it so I have all the required ports, but that’s not a big deal. It just adds cost, so I’ll have to factor that in.
I just need the system to be small enough to tuck in behind my TV, so it doesn’t end up being an eyesore. I don’t think that poses a huge issue for the steam deck.
Do you have any pointers? I’ve been an Intel and Nvidia guy for a really long time, so I have a hard time making heads or tails of what generation or power I can expect from an AMD CPU/GPU/APU from the model number.
If you could give me any idea what to look for it e avoid, I’d appreciate it. Apparently the APU in the steam deck was not officially released outside of the steamdeck, so it doesn’t have an official model number.
Because it will be permanently connected to my TV.
It seems silly to buy a handheld that will never be used as a handheld.

Fair enough.
I don’t think it’s silly. It does what you want and is reasonably priced.
I understand your point. I’ll examine the option.

id recommend a Ryzen 7 8700G, it has the best integrated graphics out of any cpu ever. (quite a bit better than teh steam deck)
