Curious how people view the steam deck and if most/all their games are supported?

I travel quite a bit for work, so for me it's a life saver.

I play some pretty demanding games such as Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and Horizon: Zero Dawn, and while it's no PS5, they run beautifully for such a small device.

The battery is not going to run me any of those games for more than an hour or so, but for that there are always those oldeis but goodies I emulate from NES all the way to PS2.

If like you say you're not a gamer, which makes me assume you'll play some games just to pass some time and kill some stress, I don't think you can find a better device to spend a couple of hundreds on and feel like it was a gift.
