I use it as a general purpose computer. I set up an encrypted home partition by more or less following this guide: https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption. I have a bag that nicely fits the deck, charging cable, dock, and a 60% keyboard for travel.
Same, I use it as my travel laptop. I like this keyboard + stand.

I just picked up a 144hz USB-C 16" monitor with a magnetic cover like a tablet. Paired it with a mini tripod and designed/printed a magnetic bracket so the monitor just snaps on. Slides right into my tiny 13L pack (barely).
Picture please!
Happily, but... Of what exactly? Not sure if you just want to see layout, or the details of the 3d model, etc.
See response to the other commenter in this chain. Posted a picture, and a Dropbox picture link to "everything".
Damn, that's pretty sweet. Nice job on the setup.
The setup would be very interesting. I guess its a mobile workstation for you?
All the pieces, and other views: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fbmz7uc6om0phj7nce4ru/AGpFdSfbjvaVRp7VzVifx8U?dl=0&e=1&rlkey=myk045zn4yxpdsn3o0wk1bron&st=zp0lu71m
This fits in my Osprey Daylight 13L pack.
Thanks. But you don't use a Steam Deck!?
Thats my main working setup, but I use it with the Deck, too. The Deck slides into the bag alongside that ๐
Works great as a desktop when I'm setting up to work and/or play.
And yes, it's a mobile workstation for me. I typically use code-server, so I'll have VSCode open in the top, and everything else on the bottom. Works well since it's width-saving in a coffee shop. I tried one of those "triple monitor" setups that connect to the laptop screen, and the angle was awful, no idea how people use those. Love me some triple-curved at home, though ;)
