I’ve been considering getting a mini PC for my living room, basically only to watch online videos without ads or watch locally stored videos.
Since I have a Steam deck available that I already often dock to my screen for gaming, could I use it instead of buying a new computer?
My main concern is the impact this would have on the battery if it’s plugged in for long periods of time, does it bypass the battery when it’s plugged in and the battery is full ? Will other components be impacted?
After my PCs motherboad gave up two years ago, I never bought a new one. I tested how long I’m happy with just the Steam Deck.
Well to be honest I bought a Raspberry PI 400, but that’s for personal and bank stuff. This way the kernel level bullshit that various companies want to install with your games doesn’t really matter.
Otherwise it’s 100% Steam Deck.
