I've heard plenty of good things about Steam Deck. If I wasn't on a college budget, I'd definitely be picking up one (most likely second hand to save money).

The value for money of it is unbelievable. I've used mine a lot, and I can't see many ways it could be improved (none without worse tradeoffs).

I wouldn't recommend it as a laptop replacement, but as a gaming system, it's incredible.

It also plays nicely with both the steam controller, and the steam link. Both can be picked up dirt cheap now.

Where can I get a steam controller dirt cheap? I’ve wanted one since I got my SD but any of them in decent used shape seem to go for $50-60 and often are missing the dongle.
