My laptop’s SSD died a while back, so I sent it away for repairs (yay, MSI’s warranty).

In that brief period without a PC, my Steam Deck was a god send - used it as my main machine for 4 days. Was even able to work on it.

That’s such a crazy addition to the value proposition, for me - totally makes it worth it.

Also, being able to play PS5 games in bed via Chiaki is delicious.

I've been using it as my main (and only) machine for the whole year. Work included (dev, illustration, graphic design, cgi)

I mean, that makes sense, because its just running (a slightly restricted) version Linux of under the hood, which I is what I run on my gaming and work pc

  Yeah but it’s still a hand held, that kind of power isn’t expected.

Chiaki doesn’t get enough credit.

How is your latency on Chiaki?

I have pretty decent home wifi and honestly…

It’s just not a great experience.

Although tbf I installed it once on a macbook and the experience was not great. Didn’t do hardly any finagling to improve latency

  The latency is so low I don’t notice it at all. Weird that you’re having problems.
  
  My ps5 is hooked up to the router via an ethernet cable, and I use a 5 Ghz network to play on. Never had any issues and never required any tweaking (played most of Jedi: Survivor with this setup).
