I don’t mind the size but it does make it prohibitively more difficult to travel with compared to the Switch (slightly) but especially so compared to old handhelds like the DS and Vita.

I generally keep my Steam Deck at home and play from the couch. It’s awesome to be able to pick it up, play a game for 15 minutes, hit the power button to suspend. Come back later and pickup where I left off. The Switch does this as well but the Steam Deck supports games more my genre and style so it gets more use.
