    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.

      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.

            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)
