And a SSD I guess.

Alternative question: Do you want steam to offer a console only version? Same motherboard, just no screen or battery.

    Unpopular opinion - while the steam deck is cool, get a tablet with steam link and an Xbox controller. All the benefits of your rig with a better display and familiar controller.

    Edit: I bought a refurbished iPad 2 with retina display for $65 and now I have this setup, so it’s even cheaper than your proposal.

      That’s cheaper, but it’s also a whole hell of a lot worse.

      Streaming is OK, if you have a great network, but it’s significantly worse than playing on device. An XBOX controller is OK (but worse), but attaching a tablet to it is awful balance.

      The Steak Link app doesn’t recognise controllers reliably on Android. I’ve got a few controllers that work in other games, are recognised as being connected in Steam Link, but just don’t work. Connecting them with a cable lets them work straight away.

        I’ve had more luck streaming games with Moonlight (+ Sunlight server on game pc) than using Steam Link, both for controller support in certain games and just better latency. Even on Steam Deck, when I’m at home I barely notice a difference, it saves a lot of battery and I can AAA games without compromising in graphics settings.
