I've always wanted to build a little PC, but I don't have space or time to play games other than on a handheld on the sofa. I've been playing Xbox Game Pass on my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus and it's been really good, but I'm wondering if a gaming pc streamed locally would be cheaper in the long run. It'd live under the TV and very rarely get used with a controller on the telly, almost always streamed to a little handheld.

Alternative is Steam Deck, which looks good, but tbh, it seems quite unweildly. Though I know it's possibly the right route.

Any thoughts?

fwiw, valve seems to believe it's got another few years in it. They've said they might do a battery/screen refresh, but the processor and such sound like they're hear for another year at a minimum.

Well, I guess they put their money on upscaling, FSR in particular. And yes, it has worked so far but is not really on par with DLSS in my experience but maybe it will improve.
