It does what I "expected it to do" I think it comes down to the fact that I thought I would use it more but I find it uncomfortable to use.

In general I don't get on so well with handhelds, I just hoped that this one would be the change in that, I loved the vita and used that all the time but every other handheld I've ever owned I never really used bar the aforementioned vita and the neo geo pocket colour way back when.

Mine is mostly hooked up to my lounge tv via a dock and using my steam controller. Gets me out of my work room.

If you have a cool living room setup (nice tv/sofa/soundbar) the dock is a must have!

I never saw the point in wasting my money on a dock when it takes me 15 seconds to just plug my laptop in with a HDMI cable and have more power and compatibility. G

Well, in my case, my Steam Deck is way more capable of running games than my laptop, so the point of a dock would be to play games on a bigger screen. I mean it seems kind of self-explanatory, no?

I said I don't see the point in wasting my money not what the point of a dock is......
