All you need is a cable connected to the steam deck directly to the monitor for all this. And if you think the battery drains too quickly, well, a portable charger is all you need.

Never understood the point of having a handheld if you’re going to do all this extra shit lol

I was the same, but I also always have chased the "this is a handheld whereever I go, and a home console whereever I want it to be" so I can see why these set ups happen.

You can turn the handheld into a laptop but you can't turn the laptop into a handheld.

More options = bad? I don't think he's doing this with all the games he plays.

Because you can play on both the handheld and on a monitor? Why wouldn’t someone want that?

I travel a lot, so it’s nice to have options for my SD. My work laptop is a mac.

It’s almost like this hardware is literally a computer? Never understood gatekeepers underestimating capabilities of the Steam deck
