Sure but if you are putting into a dock then you probably have a larger screen and a full desk setup. If it’s your only device then it makes sense but if you have another computer with monitors already then it doesn’t. I’m mainly talking about using Bluetooth to hook up a mouse and keyboard and to somehow work off that small screen far away from you. If you put it in a dock then you’ve essentially just turned it into a computer with monitors and anything else. So most of the time if you have monitors you are likely to have a whole other computer that’s likely to be more powerful than the deck. The deck is a powerful handheld but weak computer.
You probably do have that other setup, but there’s no reason we should say that my portable situation isn’t worth it. I’m not an Overwatch player, but I’m a fighting game player. I’m not playing those games competitively with the controls on the device, but with a portable monitor that fits in my backpack, I can set it up at my destination and use my Snackbox Micro when I get off the train.
I very specifically said if it’s your only device. I’m not dunking on your setup or saying it’s not worth it. I’m saying it only seems worth it to me if you have an extra monitor and no other computer around. Which you say is the exact case you are in.
