    I only suggested it because I’ve been using an old 15in laptop to stream from my pc. It easily hides behind my tv. And I could fit a bigger one.

    Laptop gpus will give better resolution than a steam deck.

    If you are budget conscious, you can’t always pick up something new that’s exactly fit for purpose. Though I understand that you have a different use case

      Game streaming is not the ideal. My network is certainly up to it, I just don’t prefer it, since it requires that I occupy two systems when I’m playing a game.

      If the Mrs wants to play a game then my system would be busy rendering the game, so I would be unable to use it until she’s done.

      There’s a lot of utility in having another system capable of playing games. Both she and I have gaming capable systems, regardless if they’re a little dated. In optimal conditions we could have both her, a guest and I can play games at the same time, possibly together. Streaming precludes that, since another system will always be occupied while someone is playing a game on the TV.
