I had read elsewhere that the anti glare etching also makes things look a little ‘off’ if you use a screen protector
Upgrading to a 2TB SSD is pretty trivial, I saw no reason not to go with the lowest capacity model

I’ve had a Switch since it launched. For the most part, it collected dust - it saw use around certain major game releases and that’s it.
My Steam Deck has completely displaced my high end (well, for 2021) gaming PC - anything that doesn’t run well natively is easily streamed over the network from that PC. I can hang out in the living room watching TV with my partner.
The emulation capabilities have allowed me to conveniently tap back into my entire childhood of gaming, even extending into some titles that I had missed.
The biggest thing has been having access to the entire PC gaming content library. Sales, free Epic games, Amazon Prime Gaming - it’s all there. It’s a far better value proposition than the Switch.

I’ve had the issue with the plug falling out, actually bonked my Deck’s screen and cracked the protector while I was fishing headphones out of a bag on a flight.
I use a cable with a 90 degree tip and found that, for the outlets that are on the seat, I can attach the cable to the tray arm with a Clove Hitch to help the plug stay put and catch it if it falls.

I have a gaming PC with an R7 5800X and an RTX 3080 hooked up to a 38” Ultrawide monitor
Since I got my Steam Deck, the PC setup mostly collects dust. Being able to lay on the couch and play games while watching TV shows with my SO became a lot more appealing than going into another room to sit upright at a desk. Games in bed while watching Saturday morning cartoons? Yes please!
As far as games are concerned, the majority of things run at acceptable framerates. For the exceptions, you can always stream from a PC over the network and the battery life is incredible when you play that way. This also applies to games with restrictive anti-cheat.

Vibration is a pretty big one
