Many older and/or casual gamers who've stopped following gaming and are living under the idiomatic rock would absolutely love a steam deck. And a significant portion of those would find it an upgrade over their laptop for Office and shit.
Maybe dumb questions, what is so special about the steam deck? Isn't is just a portable console like the switch? What makes it so much better than a PC
It is essentially a full fledged PC. It uses the same AMD APU (CPU with built in GPU) as the PS5 and Xbox, has expandable storage. There are other similar and more powerful competitors but the steam deck has the best price and has out of th box support for a shit load of games using Steam. It also user serviceable.
