This was my motivation for getting one. I work from home, and my work laptop and my gaming PC share a desk, thanks to a pair of KVM switches. Sometimes I don’t feel like spending my evenings in the same chair I spent the day in, and enjoy flopping down on the couch with the Deck in handheld mode.
Best is going outside and touching grass and playing games with the Deck.
Games while lazing in a hammock is unbeatable 👌
How’s the brightness when it’s sunny outside?
Pretty good as long as I stay in the shade, but there is glare which is when an antiglare screen as others have mentioned comes in handy. I don't have that screen though but there's matte screens that can be tried out.
I've been sondering getting one but have eye issues. Their most expensive model has an antiglare screen and that would be best in the sun
