    I wish you told me this two years ago before I bought one. It was just too underpowered to work for my use case. I was expecting like the power of a low/mid range smartphone.

    It was 10x more expensive, but I got a steam deck for my usecase, which involved real time video decode for live streams of sports games. Raspberry Pi kept having micro stutters that made watching sports impossible.

        My far cheaper CPU with iGPU can also do hardware video transcoding ;)

        I have no doubt there’s something in between a raspberry pi and steam deck that would have worked fine for me. But I also just wanted an excuse to buy a steam deck. 🙂
